Have you ever heard of the phrase “less is more?” Well, it is more than just a catchphrase, it’s a way of life, particularly when it comes to what you eat.
Choosing fewer portions and eating with awareness can change your mood every day. It’s not about strict diets. If you are wondering about how cutting back on food could improve your quality of life? It is explained by the publications below:
According to Exercise with Style, “Besides weight loss, there are several other benefits of eating less. One of the benefits of eating less is that it might help slow ageing and reduce the risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes.”
The above source states that reducing food intake can aid in better digestion. It can also lessen gas, bloating, and cramping in the stomach.
The fitness source above advises you to ensure that you are eating enough, even if you would like to eat less. The first disadvantage depends on how many calories you are cutting.
It is also mentioned by the above source that “a very low-calorie diet (below 1,200 calories or the basal metabolic rate) can slow down the metabolism and affect hormonal processes.”
Big Think claims, “If eating fewer calories became our mission as a nation concerning food, we would get dramatically healthier. We would also create a more enduring conversation about the importance of food in our lives, reduce harmful farming and industrial practices, and begin treating animals more ethically. ”
