11. Reduces Stress
Vegetables and fruits are loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants help reduce oxidative stressi in the body, thereby reducing inflammation. Unhealthy foods do just the opposite. They have no nutritional value, and the trans fats and high sugar increase inflammation in the body, leading to an increase in oxidative stress.
Avoid eating heavy, unhealthy, fat-loaded foods. In the long run, eating light and healthy foods is the best solution to physical and mental stress.
12. Improves Sleep Quality
Healthy eating also helps improve sleep quality. Late-night snacking on junk food or ice cream, having dinner at an odd time, and consuming oily and heavy foods disrupt the normal biological cycle. This increases the chances of obesity and metabolic syndrome. It leads to poor digestion and concentration and leaves you feeling uneasy.
Eating healthy and at least three hours before you go to bed aids digestion, lowers stress, and helps you get sound sleep.
