The food you eat is not only for energy supply but also has important signaling functions in the body.
Your diet is not only a supply of energy but also has important signaling functions of genes. Many micro and macro metabolites of the food you eat, work as ligands to nuclear receptors in your body. This way they work as switches of genes. Thus it is important to eat mostly foods that we know to be healthy, not only for your weight but also for your metabolism and overall function of the body. Humans haven’t had enough time evolutionally to adapt to the current diet, making cancers, heart diseases, metabolic diseases, like type 2 diabetes, mostly man-made diseases. The diets consisting of deep-fried foods or not eating vegetables has huge effects on your body. Please take care of your diet.Source: Carlberg C, Ulven SM, Molnar F.
