1. Healthy Heart: 

 A great Balanced diet with high Fiber Food will help ensure that your heart works at optimal efficiency, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Choose deeply colored fruits and vegetables as they have the highest micronutrient content. Good choices include peaches, spinach, berries, and carrots. To reduce your risk of death from heart disease, eat oily fish, such as mackerel, salmon, and trout, twice a week. Oily fish contain substantial amounts of omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial for your heart.

2. Improves Brain Function:

Foods rich in B vitamins, particularly vitamins B-6 and B-12 and folic acid, can help reduce your homocysteine levels. High levels of homocysteine have been tied to increased risk of dementia, according to the Harvard Medical School. 

3. Fight Obesity:

A Meal Plan that includes healthy foods such as Whole Grains can help you combat weight gain. Whole Grain contains fibers that stay on your stomach for much longer, which is great because it reduces the food cravings. 

4. Look Younger: 

Consuming foods rich in antioxidants such as fresh fruits and vegetables may help slow aging by eliminating free radicals, which are harmful agents caused by metabolic processes and environmental toxins. Free radicals damage cells, including skin cells, speeding up the aging process. 

5. Live Longer: 

Eating foods that are rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins, lean protein and whole grains can add more years to your life. According to a recent study by University of Gothenburg scientists, the Mediterranean diet is linked to better health, and therefore a 20 percent chance of living longer. This Diet consists in the consumption of vegetables, fruits, and fish and cutting down on foods from land-based animals such as milk and meat.
