FOOD
 1. Weight Control
 A diet that is full of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and
whole grains can help you lose, maintain or control your
weight.
 2. Blood Sugar Control
 Sugary foods cause spikes in your blood sugar. If you
consume too many sugary foods like white breads and
concentrated fruit juices, over time you can develop Type 2
diabetes.

5.  3. Heart Health
 High-fat foods cause high cholesterol and a buildup of
plaque in your arteries. It’s a known fact that this can lead
to stroke, heart attack or heart disease. Eat healthy fats,
like those found in nuts and avocados, to get the fat you
need without the plaque buildup.
 4. Deceased Cancer Risk
 Fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants that help
neutralize the damaging cells known as free radicals. Free
radicals are highly unstable and can lead to cancerous
cells.

a healthy lifestyle.

countries in the world.

buy nutritious food. They lack protein sources
