Healthy eating can have a positive impact on your life by leading to a more sustained elevated mood. It can reduce stress too. Some of the mood-busting food to avoid are simple sugars that are in  junk food such as soda and candy, refined carbohydrates as well  as jams and syrups. These can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels and have great impact on our mood and energy.  

On the other hand, there are few nutrients that have been identified  by researchers that can enhance our mood and combat  depression: folate, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, iron, chromium, zinc, calcium, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Food rich in vitamins, fatty acids and minerals are not only super healthy, but can also increase happiness, quell anxiety and may even help alleviate depression.

Food plays a very important contributing role in the management  and development of our mental health. Not just that, it also  prevent mental health problems such as depression,  schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Alzheimer’s disease. Here are five food that keep the mind working at its best: Lean protein, leafy greens, fatty fish, whole grain, and yogurt with active cultures.

5) Live longer 

There are some things in life that we can't control like how long we live and how long we get to enjoy it. But according to the data collected from people in their 90s and beyond as well as nutrition  science research show that when, what and how we consume  food have a great impact and influence on how long we live. 

Japan has the oldest life expectancy in the world. The people of Okinawa enjoy exceptionally long lives. Statistic shows that the worldwide average life expectancy is 67 compared to 78 in the United States and more than 81 years old in the Pacific Islanders. 

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, high in nutrients and low in  calories, is your best bet for a long life. It is vital for health and  maintenance of your body. Some of the food include broccoli,  grapes, salad, avocado, olive oil, berries, beans, grains and seeds,  less red meat, fish, bananas and organic food.

Odd enough... Even though the benefits are really obvious to  many, they still choose to be ignorant or oblivious to what enters their mouth - Even if they know that it's clearly POISON! It's  insane! 

They have this perception that ignorant is bliss. In fact, ignorant is  the main reason why so many fall sick and get cancer today!  

Have you heard of the saying "ROME is not built in a day"?  

This saying applies to your own physical health. It takes time and constant dedication to a healthy lifestyle to reap the benefits, not overnight!

Well... That's the HARD part. Many gave in to instant gratification  like chocolates because they can feel good instantly, compared to  eating fruits and vegetables (Even though they know they can get  plenty of vitamins and minerals from a little tweak in their food  choices). 

They came up with so many excuses. Some really common ones  are: 

- I can't afford to live a healthy lifestyle! Those organic food are  expensive! 

- Healthy diet is NOT for me. I don't see any impact on my health!  Look, I'm not sick at all! 

- Why give up all these sweets? You only live once anyway! YOLO! 

Truth is, it's not necessary to give up on your favorite food and'surrender' to tasteless health food. You simply have to practice moderation and change your beliefs. Who told you that healthy  food are tasteless? You simply haven't found the right recipe! 

Thus, you simply have to be aware of your food choices and  constantly ask yourself "Will this fuel my body, or screw up my  health?" Then go ahead and plunge into the world of healthy food,  indulge yourself with wholesome ideas that best suit your health goals!

We should make healthy choices to ensure a healthy lifestyle.  Eating healthy is not something difficult if you put your heart to it.  Making mindful choices when eating is the key to it.
