Healthy eating starts with learning new ways to eat, such as
adding more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and
cutting back on foods that have a lot of fat, salt, and sugar.
- Aim for balance. Most days, eat from each food group—
grains, protein foods, vegetable and fruit, and dairy. Listen to
your body.
- Look for variety. Be adventurous. Eating a variety of foods
each day will help you get all the nutrients you need.
- Practice moderation. Don’t have too much or too little of
one thing. All foods, if eaten in moderation, can be part of
healthy eating.
