We all adopt various measures to stay healthy. The best way is to follow a diet. In particular, we prefer to follow a diet to lose weight in a better way. Generally, it is seen that when we follow a diet, during that time only certain things are made a part of our daily diet. Not only this, every day we eat the same type of food from our breakfast to dinner.
You may find it more convenient to do so, and it may even help you lose weight in the beginning. But in reality, it is not considered right to do so for a long time. You may also have to bear some losses due to this. So, today in this article, RituPuri, Dietician, ESIC Hospital, Central Government Hospital, is telling you what harm can be caused by eating the same type of food every day-
Multiple nutrient deficiencies
Not all nutrients are present in any food. Some have high protein content and some are iron-rich. While some have vitamin C, some have vitamin A. In such a situation, if you keep eating the same type of food regularly for a long time, then it causes a deficiency of many nutrients in your body.
Could be nutritional toxicity
Just as your body becomes deficient in many other nutrients by eating only one food, in the same way, some nutrition goes into the body in excess. Even if you exceed the requirement of any nutrition, you may have problems due to its toxicity. So, it is always advised that you should include all kinds of food items in your diet.
Always having food cravings
When you start eating the same type of food regularly, it soon leads to boredom. In this situation, your mind tends to eat various types of unhealthy junk or sweet food. Because of this, you look for an excuse to eat outside food or you break down completely on seeing the food of your choice. Due to this, there is a lot of damage to your health.
Slowing down the weight loss process
In most cases, we all follow some particular diet to keep our weight under control. But it is a bit difficult to do this by eating only one type of food. When you eat the same foods over and over again, your body gets used to them and then slows down its progress. This is also one of the main reasons why most people stop losing weight after weeks of dieting.
So, for better health, always start a diet only after consulting a dietician. Also, keep making necessary changes in it from time to time on the advice of the dietician.
