“To have a healthy mind we require a healthy body and to have a
healthy body, we need a healthy mind.”
A healthy diet is essential for a well-functioning body after all food is the main source of energy for all of our body functions. There are a variety of reasons why a healthy diet is important, such as disease prevention, maintenance of a healthy weight and the quality of life.
Many times in an attempt at losing weight we lack in many nutrients. We all require synergy in our food, that means we should get all nutrients like protein, vitamins, minerals, carbs and good fat together for optimum health benefits. Each of these nutrients has their own individual role to play in the physical and mental development.
In our busy schedules and fast lives, we often end up eating as per convenience, rather than what is healthy. Many a time, we eat to please our taste buds but remain unaware of the health hazards of such kind of food.
An immediate effect of the wrong choice of food on our health is excessive weight gain within a short time or obesity. Also problems like diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure, low weight, weak bones or maybe even slow brain development. It is very important to eat healthy and eat right to stay healthy.
Healthy eating does not mean to have only boiled food, low food intake, or food without fat. Healthy food habits mean nutritious eating, i.e. eating everything in the right amount and right way.
Why Should We Eat Healthy Food?
• What we eat provides all the essential nutrients to our body. This supplies our body with the right amount of energy to do our daily work. And all these nutrients come only from healthy food, and not anything and everything we eat.
• Healthy food needs to stimulate the growth hormones that will increase our height gradually with age.
• For the proper functioning of our body cells, we need to have healthy food. All the nutrients we get from healthy food trigger cells to actively run and perform their tasks.
• Healthy food increases immunity and prevents you from falling sick easily. A strong immunity fights against bacteria and viruses. Diet rich in vitamins and minerals decreases your risk of developing health problems, including heart disease, hypertension, respiratory issues, diabetes, and cancer.
• A healthy meal plan without excess calories helps you to not only feel better but can prolong your life.
• We should avoid only unhealthy fats (saturated fat and trans-fats) which are the main culprits and not healthy fats which are beneficial to our body.
Monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are very important for our health, just like proteins and vitamins. We must include these in our diet.
• Having nutrient-rich low-calorie food will help us to lose and maintain a healthy weight.
• Boosts energy: When you eat a balanced diet your body receives the fuel it needs to manage your energy level. A healthy and balanced diet is one of the important pillars of a healthy lifestyle.

• Foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fruits, whole grains and vegetables, and also foods rich in omega-3 fats, such as nuts, salmon and other fatty fish lower the risk of depression.
• Foods high in antioxidants can help to improve cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, etc…
• Omega-3 fatty acids and magnesium may help reduce cortisol levels, a stress hormone. Eating a protein-rich diet, including fish and dairy, can help replenish protein stores and keep cortisol levels low.
Tips for eating healthy
Adding some healthy eating habits in your routine one by one will help you to get a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips:
• Stay hydrated. This will help you reduce cravings and feel fuller.
• Don’t skip meals.
• Get active. Just increasing activity a little bit may create a mindset to eat better too.
• Plan some healthier alternatives for your cravings.
• Substitute water for high-calorie, sugary drinks. For example, switch from full-fat to low-fat dairy products.
• Selecting lean meats instead of fatty cuts and whole-wheat grains instead of refined grains, can lower your intake of unhealthy fats and increase your dietary fiber intake.
• Fresh fruits and vegetables contain less sodium than canned. Snacking on fresh, crunchy food like carrots, apples and cucumber slices is healthier than the fats and salt in chips.
• A healthy diet includes whole grains, pulses, beans, lean meats, low-fat dairy products, fruit and vegetables, healthy fat.
• Have small frequent meals.
• Nuts and seeds are an important part of a healthy diet.
• We should have more alkaline food like vegetables and fruits.
If your body is a shortage of nutrients, it will have adverse effects on the overall functioning of our body. Hence we have to get the right amount of nutrients through a healthy and balanced diet.
