Giving up your favorite junk food isn’t easy. Who doesn’t love pizza, cake and ice cream (except certain parts of your body)? Sometimes we all need a little extra motivation to make the switch to eating clean. Here are three good reasons why you should give it a try.
You Feel Better And Have More Energy
Clean eating is all about eating real, unprocessed foods that are good for you and your body. It’s not always easy initially, but the results will come along pretty quickly. You’ll start to feel better and have more energy throughout the day. You may even find you’re sleeping better and don’t have to rely on those 3 cups of coffee in the morning to get you out the door.
That’s because you’re giving your body the nutrients and fuel it needs to run at its best. Instead of going on a sugar or caffeine high and subsequent crash, you’re getting what you need to feel great and have as much sustained all-day energy as that Energizer Bunny or your 5-year old.
You Look Better
Real food is much better at providing you with the vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients that you need to function properly and feel your best. Don’t be surprised to see thicker, shinier hair and clearer, firmer skin.
Processed food is designed to trigger us into eating more than we should. Add to that the fact that it is not very nutrient-dense; it’s no surprise that most people on a “Western Diet” are overweight.
Going back to a more natural way of eating will help you lose those extra pounds which not only makes you look better, you’ll be a lot healthier as well.
You’re Setting A Good Example
Eating better and getting healthier doesn’t just impact you. You’ll also be setting an example for those around you. Your family, friends, co-workers will be much more likely to grab a healthy snack if you lead by example. Just think of the impact this could have! Not only will you make sure you’re around and healthy for a long time, but you’ll also be influencing others to make healthy choices now and for years to come.
That’s some pretty good motivation to help get you started. Give clean eating a try and experience these benefits and more for yourself. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is and how great real food tastes.
To Your Health,
