Feed Your Body Right

Nutrition shouldn't be complicated. Yet between diet trends, wellness advice and the latest superfoods, making healthy choices can feel overwhelming. Keep these tips in mind for a simple and sound approach to eating better.

Focus on nutrients. The right balance of vitamins, minerals and macronutrients supports the basic functions of our bodies. Choose foods high in protein, fiber and vitamins, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, and eggs.

Enjoy variety. Eating a wide range of foods helps improve your gut bacteria and protects against chronic illness. If you tend to keep your diet fairly simple, consider slowly branching out by adding one new fruit or vegetable each week.

Limit highly processed foods. Overly processed treats have little nutritional value. Keep sugary and high-calorie items, such as soda, pastries, candy, and snack foods, to an occasional indulgence.
