Eating well is crucial for our health. Food provides a series of nutrients our body needs to perform all its physiological functions properly.
Enjoying a balanced and varied diet is crucial to promoting good physical and mental health and generally enhancing quality of life.
Why is it necessary to eat well?
According to several studies, there is a very close link between a healthy diet and preventing illness and enjoying good health. Indeed, it reduces the chances of developing some disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
That’s why it’s essential to eat the right food and have a complete and varied diet that gives you energy, nutrients and other elements such as fibre and natural antioxidants. This will help our bodies be stronger in both the short and long run.

* It’s important to reduce salt to avoid high blood pressure and cut the amount of saturated fats we eat every day to 10% and trans-fatty acids to 1%. This reduces the risk of becoming overweight or obese. However, olive oil is one of the healthier fats, as is avocado and salmon, which is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Also avoid eating added sugars and go for natural and minimally processed foods.
