The Why and How of Healthy Eating

We can certainly all agree that committing to achieving your dream body and optimal levels of health feels much easier at the beginning of a new year. Weight control is the most common reason for someone to commit to healthier habits, but the advantages of a healthy diet encompass so much more than what the scale is telling you.

Following a healthy, well-balanced diet reduces your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and can help boost your mood. Robert Urich said that “A healthy outside starts from the inside.”

Some benefits of healthy eating include:

  • Weight loss or maintenance
  • Blood sugar and cholesterol control
  • Decreased risk of chronic disease
  • Supports brain health
  • Promotes bone and tooth strength
  • Promotes gut health
  • Improved memory
  • Promotes better sleep

 

While commenting on the benefits of healthy eating is simple, finding the right diet (a tasty one) can be pretty challenging. Saying no to temptation makes this even harder.

The good news is that these days it isn’t very hard to come across nutritious and delicious food! Multiple modern restaurants have set out to aid others on their journey to help and our top pick has to be Kauai.
