Healthy eating is a cornerstone of "The Wellness Way." It's not just about what you eat but also how you eat. Practice mindful eating by paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues. Avoid distractions like TV or smartphones during meals to fully enjoy and appreciate your food.

Plan balanced meals that include a variety of nutrients. Focus on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit processed foods high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats.

Prepare meals at home whenever possible, as this gives you control over ingredients and portion sizes. Stay hydrated and be mindful of your beverage choices. Healthy eating habits can improve your energy levels, mood, and overall health, supporting a wellness-oriented lifestyle.
