1. Benefits of Nutrition

2. Heart Health
A diet low in fats, cholesterol and sodium can lower your risk of heart disease. The types of fat in your diet play a major role in your level of risk. Saturated and trans fats -- commonly found in red meats, fried foods, coconut oils, palm oils, margarines and packaged snack foods -- increase your risk and should be avoided. Diets that reduce your risk of heart disease are rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy.

3. Bone and Teeth Strength
A diet rich in calcium keeps your bones and teeth strong. Low-fat dairy products, such as milk, cheese and yogurt; dark green vegetables, and fortified foods, such as soy products, fruit juices and cereals are good sources of calcium. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily for average adults ages 19 to 50. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium.

4. Gives Energy
Increased energy levels are the immediate benefits of switching to a healthy diet. Eliminating excess fats, sugars and refined carbohydrates helps prevent blood sugar fluctuations. Examples of refined carbohydrates include candy and white breads. Unprocessed carbohydrates including whole grains, fruits and vegetables are most nutritious. Small, frequent meals also help maintain energy. In addition, eating a healthy breakfast helps keep you energized throughout the day.

5. Brain Health
Proper nutrition increases blood flow to your brain and it protects the brain cells. For a brain healthy diet, avoid fried foods and favor baked, steamed and grilled foods. Eat dark fruits and vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, prunes, raisins, blueberries, raspberries, plums and cherries. Almonds, walnuts, pecans and other nuts are great sources of vitamin E.

6. Weight Control
To prevent weight gain, we must eat no more calories than you burn each day. For weight loss, we must eat fewer calories than your body burns daily. Healthy and nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins, contain fewer calories than sodas, sweets and fast food meals.

7. Counter Effects

8. High Cholesterol
Bad nutrition can increase your risk for heart disease by raising levels of cholesterol in your blood. Saturated fats, which raise your cholesterol levels, may be found in sweets, fast foods, fatty meats and full-fat dairy products, according to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Bad nutrition may increase your cholesterol if you do not get enough fiber from nutrient-dense foods, such as whole grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and beans.

9. Weak Bones
Not enough intake of calcium or vitamin D can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk for bone fractures. Calcium is important for building and maintaining strong bones, and vitamin D helps your body absorb and use calcium. You can get them from fatty fish, such as sardines and salmon, and fortified foods, such as dairy products, orange juice or breakfast cereal.

10. High Blood Pressure
You may develop high blood pressure if your diet is high in sodium. Excess sodium is found in fast foods, breads, canned foods and frozen foods. Potassium, such as from fruits, vegetables, fish, grains and nuts, helps control your blood pressure. You may also be at risk for developing high blood pressure if you do not get enough calcium. Many non-dietary factors also affect your risk for developing high blood pressure, because high blood pressure increases your risk for stroke and heart disease.

11. Obesity
According to a National Center of Health Statistics 2003 survey, about percent of American adults are overweight or obese as a result of poor nutrition. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more.

12. Cancer
According to the National Institutes of Health, several types of cancer, including bladder, colon and breast cancers, may be partially caused by poor dietary habits. Foods that contains refined sugars, nitrates and hydrogenated oils, including hot dogs, processed meats, bacon, doughnuts and french fries can cause cancer.
