Will Healthy Eating Make You Happier?
One research investigated the association between eating healthy & happiness to answer this question (Veenhoven, 2018). The results found that healthy eating adds to happiness, not just by protecting one’s health but also in other ways (yet unidentified). This finding deserves to be drawn to the public’s attention because people should know that changing to a healthier diet will not be at the cost of their happiness but will add to it.
Questions:
What do you think about this finding?
What is one healthy ingredient/meal that you would like to include more in your diet?
@globalBraid3744 Great post and discussion prompt! Healthy eating can definitely make you happier. There is a link between physical health and mental health. When you are eating right, you are feeding your organs and they love you for that. When your organs and your health is at a good level, you have more time to do the things you enjoy, therefore you feel more happiness. I am going to tag @PoliteOcean for her opinion on this topic!

Great post Braid. I definitely agree. Our mental health is increasingly shown to be interconnected with our physical health. Healthy eating is definitely one way in which we can improve our mood and outlook on our days. Fruits and veggies, definitely do make contributions to our physical health and mental health! That being said I really want to include more broccoli and spinach in my diet as they are loaded with micronutrients that support proper body functioning.
@globalBraid3744 Healthy eating has made me less tired and sluggish so it has definitely made me happier

What do you think about this finding?.....I feel that the old saying is somewhat true (that you are what you eat).... If we "eat well" then we "feel" well!... If we eat like crap, then we tend to feel that way as well!..... Food (nutritious food), helps us to feel better and feel good inside and out. While I also feel that its ok to indulge in our favorites every now and then. And that those things should be kept in moderation. Moderation is key.
What is one healthy ingredient/meal that you would like to include more in your diet? Dark leafy greens. I used to eat or incorporate spinach almost daily, and for some reason, I got away from doing that. Whether it was in my eggs, or in a shake etc.... So, I hope to start doing that again more.
Great post! Thank you for sharing this topic!
Yes, you are right, healthy food gives a person vital energy, beauty and a good figure. I also want to start eating only healthy food, but sometimes it doesn't work out at all. By the way, I recently found a great blog https://www.ava360.com/quick-amazing-tips-on-how-to-improve-your-health/ which has a lot of useful tips to help improve your health quickly. I think it will be useful for you to take note of this and try it in your daily routine.

I would like to include more healthy variety of food in my diet.
@exquisitePeace7976
Awesome! This is also what I am working on at the moment. Do you already have any plans or know what ingredients would you like to include?
@globalBraid3744
Sure! It sometimes the only thing that can cheer me up!
It's not about adding healthy stuff or more food. It's all about "eating only when you are hungry," and that will save you.
We are currently consuming a lot of preserved and packed foods.
So, choose vegetables and cook them in a delicious way. Half fill your stomach and you are all set to go.
@SoulPitstop
I think that it is all very individual. There is no fit for all. Some people do not experience hunger at appropriate intervals. I agree that people are now consuming lots of packed/preserved food, and it is important to add more veggies and not to eat till you are completely full.
@globalBraid3744 I'm not dictating. It's a prescription. Use it wisely. All the best. வணக்கம் 🙏
@SoulPitstop
Of course! I appreciate you joining the discussion :) I wish you all the best too
