Improve mood
According to Harvard Health, when you are cungrated enough energy with foods that help the body function well, your mood will also improve.
Researchers point out five different substances that directly affect mood: tryptophan (found in chicken, milk, nuts), magnesium (found in whole grains, legumes), phytonutrient (found in dark chocolate), omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, nuts) and polyphenols (found in berries, coffee, wine).
Improve gut health
Shannon Henry of EZCare Clinic said: Healthy meals support the digestive system, helping to avoid symptoms of bloating and discomfort.
A study published by Nature Metabolism looked at the gut health of 9,000 participants and found that eating a healthy diet is closely linked to a healthy gut microbiome.
Reduces inflammation
Most healthy foods are considered anti-inflammatory, while foods that are not rich in nutrients are said to have the ability to cause inflammation. Harvard Health shows that a diet low in processed foods will help reduce inflammation - a sign closely related to the risk of chronic diseases.
Feeling healthier
A balanced, healthy diet that is full of macronutrients and micronutrients will support the body's activities.
Sarah Schlichter, a nutritionist at Bucket List Tummy, said: When you eat healthy regularly, you will notice a difference in your health, including stable and appropriate energy levels, improved sleep and better recovery after exercise.
