How Much Does Nutrition Matter?

Several factors contribute to a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity and regular medical screenings. But donā€™t overlook the power of proper nutrition as you consider your overall approach to managing your health and wellness.

Simple Steps to Improve Nutrition

Eat a balanced diet.Ā Most of your calories should come from fresh vegetables and fruits, lean proteins, dairy, whole grains and legumes.

Drink water.Ā Substitute soda and juice for water, as it is the best way to quench your thirst, power your body and maintain a healthy weight.

Enjoy colorful meals.Ā Opt for a variety of colors in your food selections to get the richest nutrition possible.

Indulge in moderation.Ā Splurging every now and then can help you maintain healthy habits by not imposing a restriction.
