Why Diet?
π― It is possible to prevent up to 80% of premature heart disease and stroke diagnoses with lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity and healthful eating.
π― Limiting certain types of fats can also improve heart health. For instance, eliminating trans fats reduces the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
π― Eating foods that contain antioxidants can reduce a personβs risk of developing cancer by protecting cells from damage.
π― Diets with a high glycaemic load may trigger increased symptoms of depression and fatigue. So lifestyle change and diet can help in better mood and good memory.
π― A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains provides a combination of prebiotics and probiotics that help good bacteria thrive in the colon.
π― Healthy diet also helps in weight loss and fat loss.
π― A healthful diet can help a person with diabetes in managing blood glucose levels.
π― A diet with adequate calcium and magnesium is important for strong bones and teeth. Keeping the bones healthy can minimize the risk of bone issues later in life, such as osteoporosis.
π― Children learn most health-related behaviours from the adults around them, and parents who model healthful eating and exercise habits tend to pass these on.
