Why does healthy eating matter? I mean, we all know we should but WHY exactly? Do we not eat for energy and doesn’t energy come from calories? Isn’t a calorie a calorie no matter what kind of calorie it is? In one simple word, NO!
Why Healthy Eating Is A MUST
Healthy eating is SO important to your life! In fact, good nutrition is not only an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle but the largest part of it. It doesn’t matter how much exercise you do if you eat junk. There’s just no way around it… healthy eating is a downright MUST!
So, now that we’ve got that established, what are some of the other benefits of good nutrition? Well, it can help you in at least the following 10 ways:
✅ controlling your weight (maintaining a healthy weight)
✅ reducing your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer
✅ promoting your overall health by boosting your immune system (making you less likely to catch the flu, etc.)
✅ increasing your productivity with increased focus and less sickness
✅ stabilizing your moods (reducing stress and depression making you happier!)
✅ getting better sleep
✅ reducing joint pain
✅ saving you money on life and health insurance
✅ saving you money on future health costs
✅ living longer
Now’s The Time To Start A Healthy Eating Habit
Now that you know the benefits, it’s time to start eating healthy stat! Don’t go another day eating junk that doesn’t help you! Instead eat more natural, whole foods. Hydrate your body by drinking lots of water too. As I say to my Real You Living Monthly Challenge Group participants,
Drink two glasses of water when you wake up every day. Fluids are crucial for heart function and for maintaining healthy blood pressure. The body needs hydration to transport carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and oxygen to the cells. Plus, water lubricates muscles and joints to keep them in healthy working order.
Make sure to add organic lemon juice to your purified water. There are SO many benefits to this. Here’s a list of just 10 of them. Lemon water:
🍋 Gives your immune system a boost.
🍋 Is an excellent source of potassium.
🍋 Aids digestion and takes away your headaches.
🍋 Cleanses your system.
🍋 Freshens your breath.
🍋 Keeps your skin blemish-free.
🍋 Helps you lose weight.
🍋 Reduces inflammation.
🍋 Helps to cut out caffeine.
🍋 Helps fight viral infections and more!
