The benefits of a healthy diet are immeasurable and can only lengthen your lifespan. By directing certain vitamins, minerals, and compounds into your body, you can prevent disease significantly better and maintain a healthy weight. Due to roughly 40% of the American population being overweight, it is crucial to provide your body with the most nutritious food possible.
Benefits of veganism include easier digestion from lack of meat and animal products, and lower risk for colon cancer as well as other cancers. Cholesterol and A1C levels reduce when meat is eliminated from your diet, so heart disease becomes more preventable and body weight remains healthy. However, concentration on certain vegan-friendly foods can lead to weight gain and malnutrition. It is important to keep track of calories when on a vegan diet.
Benefits of a paleo diet include a very natural and primitive approach to diet. With a restriction on chips and other highly processed foods, wild caught meat and local produce can ensure the safest options for food. Paleo, coming from the word Paleolithic, is supposed to represent how
people ate a long time ago. A world without all of these high-calorie, low-nutrient foods yielded healthier people, and it is still possible to follow similar guidelines. The diet includes higher amounts of fiber that help gastrointestinal processes and lower inflammation, a cause of cancer. The most important thing to keep in mind with a paleo diet is the proportion of meat to fruits and vegetables because in the Paleolithic era it was rare to eat meat often, which is why things like high cholesterol or heart disease are so common now.

No matter what diet you follow, even healthy foods must be chosen selectively. Although it may seem like eating fruits and vegetables, regardless of their origin, may be good for the body, pesticides and fertilizers plague many of the produce you have to choose from. There are a few basic principles for choosing what foods should be bought organically or foods that are genetically modified.
Any fruits and vegetables that do not have a shell or protection from pesticides being sprayed on them are crucial to be bought organically. They become infected by the chemicals and eventually harmful for consumption. Foods like strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc. should be bought organically to prevent these chemicals from entering your body. However, watermelons, bananas, and other foods that require taking an outer layer off are okay to eat non-organically. Being conscious of whether a food is safe to eat GMO’d is necessary to be genuinely healthy.

CLICK HERE to read this article from Journal of the American College of Nutrition and published by Taylor and Francis Group. According to https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/uacn20/current “The Journal of the American College of Nutrition publishes research on all aspects of nutrition including metabolic studies, dietary requirements and obesity.” Therefore, if you’re interested in learning more about those categories, I would recommend this website.
I found that the findings in this research are contradictory to the other articles I have read. I found that surprising considering the size of the study. I’m not sure whether the results are valid because they examined so many different studies and all the studies had a different design to them. Nevertheless, I recommend giving it a read since it included many aspects to the topic including diets from different countries, different sexes, different types of meats (processed and not processed).
