How Food Affects Life

I'm sure that many people's new year's resolution was to start eating healthier. There are many reasons for this, almost too many to count. Today I'm going to go over just big ways how food can affect the human body.

Weight

This is an obvious one. Over-eating, as well as under eating, can cause an unwanted and unhealthy weight. The human body is not made to constantly eat a gallon of chocolate ice cream every day. It doesn't even have to be that drastic. Although it's okay to treat yourself to something sweet every once in a while, it shouldn't be too much. Next time you're about to eat a bowl of ice cream for the third day in a row, think about if you really should.

Energy

From your science classes taken in high school, you've probably learned that energy is created from food. So everything that we put into our body effects how easily that energy is created. If there is an excess amount of unhealthy junk food put into our body then less energy will be provided. Healthy green's such as spinach,  broccoli, and many others, can allow more energy to be provided. Therefore allowing people to get through their days easier. The sugary stuff can allow a quick burst of energy, but then a just as quick crash soon after. Drinking water is also an important factor in energy and hydration.

Although I did not go into depth about the specific way of how these foods affect your body, you can always do research. If you're one of those people who made "eating healthy" their new year's resolution, then you can research additional information about specifically what is considered healthy or not.
