Eating well is about nourishing your body with real, wholesome foods—without giving up joy or flavor! 💚 Here’s a little guide inspired by the EatingWell philosophy, including healthy eating tips, recipe ideas, and feel-good habits:
🥗 Healthy Eating Tips
1. Choose Whole Foods Over Processed Ones
Go for foods as close to their natural state as possible—like fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins.
2. Balance Your Plate
Aim for:
- ½ veggies & fruit
- ÂĽ whole grains (quinoa, brown rice, oats)
- ÂĽ protein (beans, tofu, chicken, eggs, fish)
3. Don’t Fear Healthy Fats
Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil support your brain, hormones, and heart health.
4. Stay Hydrated with More Than Water
Infuse water with lemon, mint, or berries. Herbal teas and broths count too!
5. Enjoy Treats Mindfully
Savor them! A healthy lifestyle includes pleasure and flexibility—not restriction.
