Eating healthy foods has the power to affect how you feel today, tomorrow, and in the future.
And it has many benefits.
Here are four.
Eating well can boost your energy throughout the day.
Healthy foods fuel your body with nutrients, giving you the strength to do the things you want to do.
Eating well can also improve your digestion.
Many people find that eating well helps them have better bowel movements and less gas, bloating, and heartburn.
Maybe you will, too.
Eating well can even help you manage or improve some health problems and help prevent other problems in the future.
For example, making positive changes to the way you eat can lower your chances of getting diabetes or having high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
And if you already have some of these health conditions, eating well can still help you manage or improve them.
Sometimes people are even able to reduce some of the medicines they're taking.
You can talk with your doctor to find out if that could be true for you.
Another benefit to eating well?
It encourages others around you to do the same.
By making healthy choices for yourself, you can inspire others to do it, too.
And including others when you're choosing foods or making meals is another way to encourage everyone to be healthy.
These are just some of the benefits of eating well.
And you can start as soon as your next meal.
