Healthy Recipes

Some people don't really understand how important eating healthy
food
is to us. Let's look at some statement:

1. Over a billion people worldwide are now overweight and 300
million are clinically obese. People who are overweight have a

higher risk of developing serious health problems in later life,
including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bowel
cancer, and high blood pressure. Most people put on excess
weight because their lifestyles include an unhealthy diet and a
lack of physical activity.

2. According to Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and
Prevention, post-menopausal women may reduce their risk of
developing cancer by 35% if they eat a healthy diet and lead
a healthy lifestyle. This result was based on 29,564 post-
menopausal women, aged 55-69 for a research period of 13
years.

3. People who ate three or more servings of fruit per day have

36% lower risk of developing the sight loss than people who ate
less than one and a half servings per day. (According to Archives
of Ophthalmology)

4. Eat low fat food regularly can reduce the chance of developing
heart disease and certain cancers.

5. Calorie reduction can increase life expectancy by up to 30
percent


6.Vitamins can cut cancer death rates by 37%

7. Foods that contain the mineral selenium and plant-based

chemical sulforaphane in combination may have a 13 times
greater ability to protect against cancer than when the food
compounds are used separately. ......

This list can go on and on. But I think you've got the point:

Eat healthy and balanced food daily can protect us from
developing major health problems like heart disease,

cancer, diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure.
