Healthy eating works best as a few repeatable habits: build a balanced plate, get enough protein and fiber, and keep added sugars and refined grains modest. Essential Concepts: half vegetables and fruit, quarter protein, quarter higher-fiber starches; portions by consistency; fiber up slowly; water as the default beverage.
Essential Concepts: Blueberries, green tea, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, garlic, and oranges supply vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients that support immune function. Add them regularly through simple meals and snacks, and choose fresh, well-stored produce for the best results.
Most sodium comes from processed, packaged, and restaurant foods, not the salt shaker, so the most effective cut is to choose whole foods, read labels, and cook more at home. Essential Concepts: limit processed foods, choose low-sodium options, rinse canned foods, use herbs and citrus, and keep daily sodium at 2,300 mg or less.
