Is It Bad To Eat The Same Foods Everyday?

Fact #1

If you fill your plate with a variety of fruits or vegetables and keep the other recipes same, it is okay. That is because you will get a variety of nutrients and antioxidants from the fruits and veggies.

So, if you don't have the patience to cook or try new recipes, keep getting a variety of fruits and vegetables to your plate keeping your cooked foods same.

Fact #2

A study also claims that eating a variety of cooked foods, cuisines and spicy dishes may make you much more unhealthy because taste drives you.

Imagine yourself in a buffet party with so many foods around you. Will you be able to control yourself? But when you eat a variety of fruits and vegetables but keep your cooked foods same, you will never overeat out of boredom.

Fact #3

One disadvantage of eating the same kind of a meal every day is: you will be providing the same nutrients and depriving your body of other nutrients. In the long run, this may cause vitamin or mineral deficiencies.

Fact #4

When you eat the same food, you may feel bored. This boredom may develop cravings in you. Those cravings may make you overeat junk food to satisfy the desire.

Fact #5

Even if you plan the most nutritious meal, eating the same food every day may deprive your body of some or the other nutrient. For example, you included all nutrients in your diet; you may think it is healthy enough, right?

But if your diet lacks probiotics or prebiotics, your health may soon suffer! So, if you keep changing the variety of fruits or vegetables you are eating, you will be able to get more variety of nutrients.

Fact #6

The reason why we need variety is: no single food has every necessary nutrient in it. Some are protein rich, some are rich in carbohydrates, some are rich in vitamins and minerals.

You need all nutrients in the right proportions to live a healthy life. So, maintain variety.
