5 Most important food groups for a healthy lifestyle

(Listed in picture) These are 5 very important food groups for everyone. Here are just 2 advantages to these 5:

Easy weight management: People who eat mainly these 5 food groups tend to be leaner than those who don’t, and makes it easy to lose weight and keep it off—without counting calories.

Disease prevention:

Eating these 5 food groups daily can prevent, halt, and in some cases reverse chronic diseases. The scientific evidence is especially overwhelming when it comes to heart disease and diabetes, but research has also linked it to lower rates of arthritis, improved liver function, and healthier kidneys.

*IMPROVE HEART HEALTH*

Eating these 5 food groups daily is extremely effective at promoting cardiovascular health and preventing, halting, and in some cases even reversing heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. A 2019 review of 99 studies found that diets rich in these foods were associated with significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared with diets high in meat and dairy products.

There are several reasons for this. Animal-based foods are high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which raise blood cholesterol levels, causing fatty, wax-like plaque to build up in the arteries. Highly processed foods often contain excessive salt, which raises blood pressure, damaging the lining of the arteries over time. By eliminating these harmful foods from your diet and replacing them with whole plant foods, you can bring down your cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and risk of heart disease.
