When you think about eating a well-balanced diet, you might consider the impact that can have on heart health. Certainly, a thoughtful approach to what you consume can support this muscular organ’s ability to pump life-giving blood throughout your body – and help with everything from regulating blood pressure to lowering risk of heart attack and stroke.
But the way you nourish your body and the impact that has on your function doesn’t stop there. In fact, what you drink and eat also affects all sorts of organs and systems that keep you alive and thriving. That includes the far-reaching nervous system, which contains your body’s control center – the brain – and spine and extends to all the other nerves in your body which branch out from the central nervous system to your skeletal muscles, arms, legs, fingers and toes.
