eat healthy

Eating healthy also helps the mind to function better, this is an accepted fact. If the mind is also healthy, one is more likely to get more out of life, be more productive, and, ultimately, be happier-surely...

‘But healthy food doesn’t taste as nice’, some of you may be whining. Hmm, that’s nothing but your state of mind and what you have been brought up eating. If you’re brought up eating healthily, you’re bound to prefer healthy food over unhealthy food-not that junk food isn’t nice, most of it is… But of course, eating the odd chocolate, biscuit and drinking coke every now and then wont harm you-it’s all about moderation as the saying goes. But it is when junk food is incorporated into our daily diet it can become a problem.

The main reason, in my opinion, why junk food is so ubiquitous in our sugar-saturated society, is because not only is it generally nice but because it is cheap. When food is cheap and cheerful it becomes something we buy because it suits our lifestyle. And then when we can’t see any immediate damaging effect of the food on our body, we continue in our heedless ways.

Eating healthy has physical benefits, psychological benefits, and for the religious people out there: it can even lead to a better spiritual life. Psychologists tell us that a person who can control their appetite, can control every other desire. It therefore becomes a form of helping one to attain self-restraint and helps to discipline the soul.

Life is short, there is no doubt about it, but eating unhealthy could make it even shorter… and The prophet S.A.W said "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT"
