There is this stigma that eating healthy is gross, expensive, difficult, and boring. Many people lack the desire to live a life that doesn't revolve around amazing tasting food. This is understandable, but what if I told you eating healthy can also be delicious! Would you consider it then? Do dishes like fried rice, creamy chicken tortilla soup, or grilled chili lime fish tacos sound yummy? How about snacks and treats such as avocado hummus, zucchini chips, cinnamon roasted almonds, frozen yogurt melts, or even pop tarts? Every single one of those foods and more can be made healthy and still taste amazing. I may have you intrigued now but let me also run some facts by you.
There has been plenty of research that shows eating healthy can improve the way that your body functions. A splurge every once in awhile is acceptable, but eating food that is mostly healthy can actually greatly impact you. Here are just a few areas that can be positively impacted by a healthier diet:
- Weight Control- Naturally, eating healthier foods can cut down the amount of fat, sodium, and sugar that you intake. There are less additives and your body will not be harboring all of these unnecessary ingredients that are found in most foods.
- Mood Improvement- Your mood can be greatly impacted by the food that you eat. Most people can attest to have a delicious meal and feeling satisfied after eating it, or having a horrible meal and feeling sluggish after. Your brain chemicals can change according to the food that you eat and your self esteem may heighten when keeping yourself on a healthy track.
- Boost Energy- When you eat a balanced diet that incorporates the proper amount of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other pure ingredients, your body will retain the fuel that it needs for the day. You may find that you become more alert and less fatigued and sluggish.
Eating healthy can help your body feel great and can be delicious too! Try your best to keep on a healthy diet and to look for ingredients that may not be great for your body. Also check out http://deliciouslyella.com/ for some quick and easy recipies.
