Eat A Balanced Diet

Eating a balanced diet that focuses on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is a great foundation for overall health. Here's how to put that into practice:

1. Fruits

• Aim for a variety of colors and types (berries, citrus, apples, bananas, and more)
• Choose whole fruits over juices to get fiber and avoid added sugars.
• Try to include 2–3 servings per day.

2. Vegetables

• Include a mix of leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and cauliflower), and starchy options (like sweet potatoes).
• Aim for at least 3–5 servings daily.
• Raw or lightly cooked methods (like steaming or roasting) help preserve nutrients.

3. Whole Grains

• Opt for whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats, whole wheat bread, and barley.
• Replace refined grains (white bread, white rice) with whole grain versions.
• Look for "100% whole grain" or "whole wheat" on labels.

Bonus Tips:

• Add lean proteins (like beans, lentils, tofu, fish, or chicken).
• Include healthy fats (nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocado).
• Stay hydrated with water and limit sugary drinks.
