Who does not know the good advice: Eat healthy. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Drink water instead of juice, we’ve heard it all before. Healthy nutrition is important, we know that much. But why actually again exactly? Read the 6 best reasons for a healthy diet here!
1. You stay healthy with the right food!
A high-sugar diet can not only make you fat, but also pretty sick! Obesity often later leads to diseases of the heart, liver and metabolism (e.g. diabetes). According to doctors, the reasons for 70 percent of these diseases are improper nutrition. The healthier you eat, the less risk you get of it.
2. You need nutrients to grow!
The right food is important for our body. If the nutrients are lacking, we will feel weak, tired and unable to concentrate. Just for children healthy eating is particularly important. Because the body needs the right amount of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals to grow and develop healthily.
3. You learn the naturally good taste!
The sense of taste, likes and dislikes – what you like and dislike – develop in childhood. Anyone who gets to know whole grain bread, fruit and vegetables as a child will later incorporate these things into their diet. However, anyone who eats only finished fruit yoghurt with a lot of sugar and artificial flavor additives as a child knows little to appreciate the naturally good taste of homemade strawberry yogurt later.
4. Healthy eating makes you smart!
Of course, good food alone doesn’t make you an Einstein. But: If you have a healthy breakfast, you can concentrate well at school and learn better as a result. Because our brains need nutrients to perform well. Scientists have even found that intelligence is better developed in children who eat healthy and varied foods (e.g. lettuce, rice, fish, fruits) than in those who eat too sweet and too fat.
5. You are fitter with the right food!
A healthy and varied diet makes you feel physically fitter, has more energy and is less sick. An additional plus: Those who eat properly also sleep better. And those who have slept in well feel good during the day and can do more.
6. Do it yourself is fun!
Around delicious You don’t need a lot of ingredients to conjure up healthy dishes. Cooking and eating together is also fun. You should share this with your family and friends as often as possible. It’s the best thing to eat together!
