Nutritionist Explains How Food Affects Body Quickly

A nutritionist named Pooja Makhija shared on Instagram that food affects our bodies much faster than we think.

Within minutes of eating, our hormones, brain chemicals, and even genes that control inflammation start changing.

One meal sends signals to our body, and if we eat the same types of meals often, our body gets used to those signals.

This can lead to long-term health issues like inflammation or insulin resistance.

For example, a single high-fat or high-sugar meal can increase inflammation in healthy people within hours.

The key is to focus on eating patterns rather than being perfect every time.

Food isn't just about calories; it's like sending instructions to your body every day.

Changing these instructions consistently can change your biology over time.
