-Ayuda mucho a tu sistema inmunológico. Tu sistema inmune se defiende mejor cuando estas bien alimentado, por lo que una dieta saludable te  ayudará a combatir las enfermedades.
-Controla tu colesterol y tu glucosa.  Las dietas poco saludables suelen elevar tu colesterol y esto a futuro te puede ocasionar diabetes.
-Te ayuda a evitar problemas digestivos. La comida poco saludable puede ocasionar problemas en tu  digestión, por eso es recomendable introducir fibra en la dieta para digerir mejor los alimentos.
-Mejora tu estado de ánimo. Algunos nutrientes como el hierro, el ácido fólico o las vitaminas te ayudan  a mejorar tu  estado de ánimo y también a ver las cosas de una manera más positiva.
-Te ayuda a reducir el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. La ingesta excesiva de grasas puede producir enfermedades cardiovasculares, pero con  una dieta saludable en la que se controlen las grasas y se prioricen las frutas y las verduras, los riesgos serán más bajos.
