BEST DIET FOR OUR HEALTH

Certainly! A healthy diet consists of a variety of nutrient-dense foods


from all food groups. Here's a breakdown:

Fruits and Vegetables: These provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and
antioxidants. Aim for a colourful array to ensure you're getting a wide range of
nutrients.

Whole Grains: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat
provide fibre, vitamins, and minerals. They help maintain steady energy levels
and promote digestive health.

Lean Proteins: Sources include poultry, fish, tofu, legumes, and lean cuts of
meat. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, as well as for
maintaining a healthy immune system.

Healthy Fats: Incorporate sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
These fats are important for brain health, hormone production, and absorbing
fat-soluble vitamins.

Dairy or Alternatives: Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products, or fortified


plant-based alternatives like almond or soy milk. These provide calcium and
vitamin D for strong bones.
Moderation and Variety: Enjoy a wide variety of foods to ensure you're getting
all the nutrients your body needs. Practice moderation with treats and
indulgent foods.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Water is
essential for digestion, circulation, temperature regulation, and overall health

Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues, and eat slowly to
fully enjoy and digest your meals. Avoid distractions like screens while eating
to promote mindful eating habits.
By following these principles and maintaining a balanced diet, you can
support your overall health and well-being, providing your body with the
essential nutrients it needs to thrive.
