Though you may not turn into a potato chip if you eat one, but living off a steady diet of junk food can have massive negative side effects on your body in not only how it looks but the way it functions. Conversely, eating a healthy diet filled with greens, healthy carbs, protein, and lots of water, will improve the way your body functions and can have a positive impact on the way you feel, your emotions, your energy, weight, and much more. Eating well is essential to a healthy functioning immune system and helps your body heal itself the way it’s intended to.
