3. You Have A Smooth Digestion And Regular Bowel Movements
Diets high in fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains support gut health and regularity. So, if your bowel movements are regular, it simply means that you are getting plenty of fiber in your diet and your gut microbiome is healthy. Since gut health is directly linked to brain functions via the gut-brain axis, chances are that your mood and mental acumen are at their best too.
4. You Are At A Healthy Weight Without Crash Diets
Is your weight maintained at a stable, manageable level without having to try fad diets, detoxes or crash courses in weight loss? If the answer is yes for at least six months, then your current diet is healthy and working well for you. A balanced, moderate diet aligns with WHO guidelines, adequate, diverse, balanced, and moderate.
5. You Have Mental Clarity And Stable Mood
If you have mental clarity and stable mood, even as a woman going through menstruation (there will be some fluctuations, but nothing drastic), then it is likely that you have a healthy diet packed with all the essential macro and micronutrients you need. Omega-3s, complex carbs, and antioxidants support brain function and protect against mood swings.
6. You Have Glowing Skin, Healthy Hair
Vitamins A, C, E, protein, and hydration reflect in skin and hair health. Studies mentioned above link whole-food diets with better “appearance” outcomes. So, if you have clear, glowing skin and hair that isn’t suffering from dandruff, dryness, brittleness-and has a natural shine-then it is likely that you are getting enough vitamins, proteins and water.
7. You Have Good Sleep Patterns
Magnesium, B-vitamins, tryptophan, and stable blood sugar support restful sleep. And good sleep in turn impacts everything from your mood, recovery and immunity. So, if you are getting enough and undisturbed sleep, then it is probable that your healthy diet (along with other factors) is supporting it.
8. You Have A Strong Immune Response
If the COVID-19 pandemic and global health crisis since then have proved anything, it is that having a strong immunity is not something you can build overnight. Following a healthy diet in the long term is just one of the ways to ensure you have a strong immune response to everything from seasonal colds to bacterial infections. And if you do have a strong immunity, it may be because you have a healthy diet packed with citrus fruits, dark leafy greens, pulses, and lean proteins that strengthen immunity.
