Good nutrition isn’t about fad diets or eliminating your favorite foods—it’s about creating a
balanced, sustainable way of eating that fuels your body and supports your overall health. When
you make healthier food choices, you give your body the tools it needs to function at its best.

Start by filling your plate with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. These
nutrient-rich foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and energy. According to the
Mayo Clinic, most of us fall short of the recommended five or more servings of fruits and
vegetables per day. Try adding berries to your morning oatmeal, a side salad with lunch, or
roasted veggies at dinner. Even small additions make a big difference.

Swapping out refined grains for whole grains is another easy win. Whole-grain bread, brown
rice, quinoa, and oats offer more fiber and keep you full longer, which helps with weight
management and blood sugar control.

Lean protein sources like chicken, fish, legumes, or tofu help build and repair tissues while
keeping you energized. Don’t forget healthy fats too—avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil are
all excellent choices in moderation.

The best part? You don’t have to change everything overnight. Small, consistent changes lead
to long-lasting results. Over time, these choices reduce your risk of chronic conditions like heart
disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
