HEALTHY SMILE

When it comes to your smile, the benefit of healthy food goes beyond strengthening teeth. Yogurt contains microorganisms that may help fight the bad bacteria that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum disease.

FEWER WRINKLES

Foods with high water content, such as fruits and vegetables, moisturize the skin and keep you hydrated. They also contain antioxidants to protect against cell damage

for younger-looking skin.

LESS STRESS

Omega-3 fatty acids protect against spikes in stress hormones, such as cortisol. Vitamin C has been shown to reduce

these hormones while protecting the immune system.

Magnesium, found in nuts and spinach, helps to keep stress at manageable levels.

FLATTER BELLY

Sodium, carbonation, constipation, and excess air (due to eating too fast) can all lead to a bloated belly. A healthy diet that limits sodium and high-sugar carbonated drinks promotes a flatter stomach.

IMPROVED MOOD

Carbohydrate-rich foods are associated with increased serotonin, which is a brain chemical linked to improved mood.

Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, are healthier choices because they will also stabilize blood sugar levels.

FEWER CRAVINGS

Spikes and rapid drops in blood sugar can result in unhealthy food cravings. Complex

carbohydrates and lean proteins help to stabilize blood sugar to prevent these rapid changes.

Healthy eating requires education. You learn what foods are nutritious, how to select the best quality product, and how to prepare it. As you learn more about healthy eating and incorporate new foods into your diet, your knowledge will increase.

LESS PICKY

BETTER EMPLOYEE

Healthy foods boost your brain power, and this means increased productivity at the office. Leafy greens contain antioxidants to protect brain cells from the damage causing cognitive decline.
