Eating Patterns and Health

It is well known that the quantity and quality of food we eat has an impact on our health. It's becoming evident that what we eat has a significant impact on our health and disease. Food goes through a digestive process when we eat it. This includes absorbing vitamins and minerals from the diet and dispersing them into the bloodstream, which carries them to the blood vessels, coronary arteries, and heart muscle. Your heart can pump harder and exert more energy depending on the type of food you're eating. This could lead to heart failure and a heart attack in the future. We've all heard that eating well may change your life and make you live longer and more active. But what exactly does healthy eating include, and how can you begin to put it into practise and break unhealthy habits? For some, the goal may be to lose weight, for others, it may be to lower blood pressure, and for still others, it may simply be to live a healthy lifestyle.
