Eat Healthy, Stay Healthy

Eating healthy food is the key to maintaining good health and living a long life. However, in this day and age, the increasing reliance on junk food for daily nutritional requirements is playing havoc with our bodies and leading to a gradual descent into an unhealthy life. The importance of consuming enough green, leafy vegetables and fruits cannot be under estimated as these food substances contain the vital nutrients necessary for survival.

 Healthy food consists of organic and naturally occurring foodstuffs that if consumed can solve half your health problems. Most diseases that we see plaguing people around us today tend to be acquired over a lifetime of unhealthy eating and a sedentary lifestyle. If the habit of eating healthy is inculcated at a young age, most of us will most likely never fall prey to diseases like obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. that are a direct byproduct of eating unhealthy. Saturated fats when consumed on a daily basis send your system haywire and lead to unnatural illnesses. Your immune system’s strength is also significantly lowered by this which further aggravates sickness.

Junk food is widely available to children today and its addictive taste ensures that kids and even adults keep craving for more. However, not many of us pause to think exactly what junk food is made up of and how it is cooked. Most junk food is cooked in oil and deep fried. It contains a high degree of trans as well as saturated fat that if consumed over a lifetime leads to a slow death and reduces your lifespan by as much as ten years. It also leads to faster ageing and leads to a disease laden body. Obesity that is a direct result of consuming too much fat can also lead to a host of psychological disorders by way of low self-esteem and depression.

It is believed that what you eat reflects on how you look. Eating healthy food not only makes you look and feel great but also enhances your energy levels. While junk food can make you lazy and lethargic, healthy food can kick start your system and enable you to perform better in all tasks. When you feel good about yourself and have a healthy body only then can you concentrate fully on all other aspects of life and work to your full potential while having a well rounded existence.

There is a great need to teach the young kids of today the importance of living a healthy life. The amount of junk food that children consume should be carefully monitored and only a limited degree of indulgence should be allowed from time to time. Junk food is too easily available today while organic food is not that easy to access. Organically obtained food can be a little more expensive when compared to fast food. Healthy food can be significantly promoted by making it easily available at eateries and outlets. Without good health, we cannot really hope to do much as a disease laden body can become a burden to deal with. So, it is better to change our ways and eat healthy rather than go through a bevy of difficult treatments later on in life.
