                                According to the World Health Organization, an unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are among the leading global risks to health. Building a healthful eating plan can feel overwhelming, but at its core, it is supported by three foundational principles: variety, balance, and moderation. These pillars guide you toward making conscious choices that provide your body with the nutrients it needs to thrive, protect against chronic diseases, and maintain a healthy weight.
