Physical Benefits of Eating Food
The best physical benefits of eating food are that it is needed to sustain life, and nourish you and your needs.

By eating on a daily basis this fills your nutrients but only if you make the right choices, eating fruits and vegetables provide you with Iron, Fiber, Calcium ,Vitamin C, and Potassium. All these nutrients help you grow and have stronger bones but also help you live a healthier lifestyle. But when people don’t make the right food choices and eat McDonalds three times a week this can lead to living an unhealthy lifestyle. It’s okay to sometimes not eat healthy but once you do it on a regular basis you suddenly just eat it because that’s what you are so use to eating. Personally I prefer healthy food because I want to live a healthy lifestyle, and be active. Healthy eating is good for you in so many ways because you fulfill all the nutrients plus more on a daily basis.
