Nutrition is vital to our body and our overall health. It ties in with the saying, “You are what you eat.” The food we choose to take in can affect our mental and physical well being in either a positive or negative way. Eating healthy can improve your overall health and help prevent disease, obesity, etc. Don't let that stop you from enjoying an occasional small treat!

Eating healthy doesn't necessarily have to feel miserable. One problem people tend to face with eating healthy is that it may be more time consuming than just grabbing a quick bite. Another issue is that some people don't enjoy the taste of strictly fruits and veggies.

Find happiness in food
Whenever there are promotions of weight loss or healthy eating it usually involves strict diets, or tactics that cause people to limit themselves. Although it may seem effective lots of restrictions can actually cause people to gain weight or even form an eating disorder. Eating healthy is not only a choice but also an obligation we have to our bodies. It can be tempting to indulge in sweets, fried foods and bunch of other junk. The mindset people go in with changing their diets also plays a big role in what motivates them to et healthier.
​
Changing a person's perspective of eating healthy foods for health purposes is less effective than viewing eating healthy foods for a person's overall well being. An example is in a study done in Australia with 12,000 participates. The level of happiness some people felt after eating was linked to eating healthier meals that incorporated more fruits and vegetables. This went for all people from different sub groups based on age, race and sex. Also, different time frames (24 hrs, 14 days, and 24 months) showed an increase in mental well being and overall life satisfaction.
​
Another study was done where participants had food diaries, which allowed more of an accurate representation of what they ate and how it affected them. There were different factors that brought to light what tend to make people the happiest when eating. One factor was eating during dinner and snack time they experienced more satisfaction than in comparison to breakfast and lunch. Another factor was that people cared more bout with exactly they were eating rather than the title of "healthy", or "unhealthy." They were more concerned if the meals incorporates meats, carbs, veggies, etc. Overall the happiness in a “healthy” meal vs an “unhealthy” meal were pretty equivalent. This can help to break the common belief that sweets are the only source of comfort foods. People can incorporate healthier food options and still achieve the same level of satisfaction.​
