6 reasons to eat healthy

Some people assume that you eat healthy to lose weight. That's not true, these are 6 other reasons to eat healthy.

1. You are more productive The healthy nutrients give your brain the fuel it needs. Research shows that this leads to better productivity.

2. You are happier
A banana contains 10 milligrams of dopamine, the substance that makes you happy. Dark chocolate contains serotonin, a substance found in some anti-depressants. Eating can actually make you feel happier, if you just choose the right food.

3. You control your weight
Although this does not have to be the main reason for eating healthy, it is a nice side effect.

4. You save money While many people are convinced that healthy food is expensive, it doesn't have to be. For example, you save money by drinking water and tea instead of expensive soft drinks.
