To avoid illness, it is essential to maintain a healthy weight, reduce inflammation, and control blood sugar levels. Furthermore, nutritional interventions can significantly impact the course of existing conditions; for example, Appropriate food management can assist improve glycemic control in diabetics and help control blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Nutrition is becoming more well acknowledged for its role in managing illness and promoting mental health in addition to physical health. Foods high in nutrients have an impact on mood and cognitive function, which is particularly important for treating disorders like anxiety and depression.
