While many people are keen on diversifying the menu, we find that there are some people who focus on only 3 or 4 dishes, which are their favourites, and perpetuate them.

Sometimes it happens that we like a certain type of food, so we eat it more than once a day or at close times, or we are forced to eat a certain type of food due to lack of time, but are there really risks if we keep eating the same food every time?

How will our bodies deal with this?

To eat the same food every day, and stick to it always, may be a strange idea, but experts warn against that, as perpetuating the same food may cause serious consequences for our body and our health system, but why does this happen and what are the risks of that?

In principle, we know that we should make our diet as balanced and varied as possible.

While some are keen on diversifying the menu, some focus on only 3 or 4 favorite dishes, and stick to them.

What are the health risks of that?

According to the German “Fit4Fun” website, our commitment to a specific type of food will lead to the following results:

Depriving the body of important elements

The most important word here is that food, regardless of its taste, provides us with nutrients, vitamins and proteins necessary for the body, and provides it with energy and the elements it needs in order to help it perform its multiple tasks.

Broccoli (cauliflower), for example, is rich in vitamins C, E and K, and also provides us with iron, zinc, potassium and calcium.

However, despite the important nutrients provided by broccoli, we see that other elements such as protein and other vitamins that the body needs are completely absent, which means that, even if we eat broccoli because it is healthy, other nutrients will be lost by the body, which will lead to an imbalance in its work and then collapse.

The greatest risk is that lack of food diversity leads to early death (Pixels)

Lack of good bacteria and weak immunity

Therefore, if we eat any healthy food alone - even if it is fortified with vitamins - one of the consequences will be that our metabolism will not work properly.

In addition to the previously mentioned symptoms of deficiency, nutrition experts emphasize, for example, that toxins can accumulate in the body because the body is unable to get rid of them properly, which leads to the risk of blood poisoning.

It is expected that there will be a negative effect on the number of intestinal bacteria, the deficiency of which leads to the accumulation of toxins in the body and the weakening of the immune system.

The greatest danger remains that the lack of diversity in food leads to early death.

Increased death rate

An unbalanced diet also eventually increases the death rate.

According to a report published by "Deutsche Welle", according to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health and published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, based on data on the eating habits of more than 59,000 women, the death rate was higher among those who were not keen on the diversity of their food.

The study showed that adopting a more varied diet with more healthy foods leads to a higher life expectancy.
