5 reasons why you shouldn’t eat the same food every day

Do you like to eat egg and toast for breakfast every morning? Or have the same spinach smoothie every evening? If yes, then you need to make some tweaks in your eating habits.

Well, it might seem fine to have the same food every day, after all, what can go wrong with it since you are just trying to keep your eating habits simple.

But guess what, having the same food every day can be unhealthy for you. Here are 5 reasons why you should not do it:

Our body needs a variety of macro and micronutrients for the proper functioning of our body. This requirement is fulfilled by eating a variety of food and vegetables. Sticking to just one kind of fruit or vegetable can lead to nutritional deficiency. Fill your plate with a variety of fruits and veggies. The thumb rule is to eat the rainbow food.

Eating a wide variety of food provides a favourable environment for the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut. This helps to boost your immune system and is good for your overall digestion. Include the right amount of fermented food, fruits, and vegetables in your diet for your gut.

This is even dangerous for people trying to lose weight. You reach a weight-loss plateau if you have the same food daily. As per a study published in PLOS One, people who ate a larger variety of fruits and veggies were able to lose weight faster as compared to those who had the same food.

By consuming excess of certain foods, you might be going overboard with some nutrients and putting your health at risk. Like too much turmeric can interfere with the functioning of your liver.
