Eating healthy can prevent diseases which are chronic, yet very common, like heart attacks, diabetes, strokes and even some kinds of cancer. If you are already obese, eating healthy henceforth can help you lose weight.
Another important point to note is that, though you might follow a healthy diet, the portion of food that you consume also plays a vital role in your weight gain.
Food is also like a drug, sometimes you crave to eat more and more of it. So always keep a check on the quantity of food that you eat.

Osteoporosis
is
a

problem
that
