Diet plays a crucial role in the health and function of tissues. A balanced diet rich in nutrients supports the maintenance and repair of cells and tissues. For instance, a diet high in antioxidants can protect tissues from oxidative stress. Conversely, a diet high in processed foods and trans fats can lead to tissue inflammation and damage. Histological studies often reveal that tissues from individuals with poor dietary habits exhibit signs of degeneration and inflammation, which can be precursors to diseases such as cancer and atherosclerosis.
