Research Proposal
I

have

so

many

questions

regarding

my

inquiry

assignment, but I will narrow my inquiry question to What are the

benefits of healthy eating? Why should we eat right?

This topic

sounds really interesting because I feel like I have always wondered

what the benefits of right eating were. It is something that directly
relates to my life. I have always wanted to know what the impact of
healthy eating would truly be and what I would gain from it. I think this
inquiry project will be a great opportunity for me to get true knowledge
in this area so I can decide whether I want to engage in the healthy
eating journey or not based on the result of my research.
I think I generally have the idea that carbs are general bad for
you and that a healthy diet should solely consist of vegetables and
boring foods. Before I began developing working knowledge about this
topic I used to think that healthy eating only had an effect on weight
and physical well-being. I discovered that our diet actually affect our
emotional well-being too. I discovered that healthy eating improves the
mood on a general basis. Also, healthy eating apparently increases our

productivity level. A study has shown that an unhealthy diet puts our
body at a 66% productivity loss.
I have also come across the knowledge that healthy eating helps
prevent a lot of chronic diseases, since a healthy diet provides all the
specific nutrients our body need in order to functions efficiently.
According to an article I read, when a healthy diet is followed by a
constant exercising pattern as well as a non-smoking diet and a limited
calorie consummation, there are 80% less chance to develop a
cardiovascular disease. I think this is the most valuable information I
have collected on the topic so far. As of now, I believe I still have more
to find out on the topic as I still have some remaining questions I would
like to answer through this research.
