Boost Your Nutrition and Overall Health

 

Advice based on evidence:

Create a Plate with Balance:

~ Half fruits and vegetables (more colors equal more nutrients), 

~ 1/4 of a lean protein (beans, lentils, eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, and soy sauce).

~ 1/4 whole grains (brown rice, oats, and bread made with whole wheat).

Consume more whole foods. Select foods that are close to their natural state. Avoid highly processed foods that are high in sugar, salt, and bad fats. Keep hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Additionally, herbal teas and water-rich foods like soups, cucumber, and oranges. Concentrate on the Nutrient Density Include berries, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and legumes. Include avocado, olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish as healthy fats. Encourage Gut Health Consume whole grains, vegetables, and other foods high in fiber. If tolerated, include fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kimchi.

Reduce Sugar and Salt Excessively Pay attention to hidden sugars and read labels. Instead of adding salt, flavor foods with herbs, spices, garlic, and lemon. Mindful eating Eat every meal, especially breakfast if you like it. Eat slowly and stop when you're satisfied.
