This passage is for the following question!
A nutritious, well-balanced diet – along with physical activity and refraining from smoking – is the foundation of good health. Healthy eating includes consuming high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, heart-healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in the foods we take in while minimizing processed foods, saturated fats, and alcohol. Eating in this manner helps us maintain our body’s everyday functions, promotes optimal body weight, and can assist in disease prevention.
The nutrients in the foods we eat support the activities of day-to-day living, protect our cells from environmental damage, and repair any cellular damage that might occur. Protein rebuilds injured tissue and promotes a healthy immune system. Both carbohydrates and fats fuel our body, while vitamins and minerals function throughout our body in support of our body’s processes. Vitamins A, C. and E, for example, act as antioxidants to protect our cells against toxins, and B vitamins help us extract energy from the foods we eat. Calcium and phosphorus keep our bones strong, while sodium and potassium help to transmit nerve signals.
In addition to the quality of the foods we consume, the quantity matters when considering good eating habits. Taking in the same number of calories as we burn ensures our weight remains steady over time. Consuming more than we burn, on the other hand, results in weight gain as our body converts extra calories to fat tissue. When we accumulate fat tissue, we increase our risk of developing one or more health problems, including heart disease, hypertension, respiratory issues, diabetes, and cancer. A healthy meal plan without excess calories helps us not only feel better but can prolong our life.
Obesity is not the only nutrition-related cause of disease onset and progression. Too much or too little of certain nutrients can also contribute to health issues. For instance, a lack of calcium in our diet can predispose us to developing osteoporosis or weakening of our bones, while too much saturated fat can cause cardiovascular disease, and too few fruits and vegetables in your nutrition plan is associated with an increased incidence of cancer. In addition to consuming foods from a wide variety of sources helps ensure our body has the nutrients it needs to avoid these health problems, a regular physical activity should also be given careful attention.
