🥗 Build Meals Around Simple, Nourishing Foods
Drinks are only one small part of the picture. Everyday eating habits generally matter much more than any individual beverage.
Try building meals around lean protein such as fish, chicken or eggs; fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach and broccoli; whole fruits such as berries and apples; and sources of unsaturated fats such as avocado, nuts and seeds.
At the same time, consider moderating heavily processed foods, sugary drinks, fried foods, and highly refined carbohydrates. There’s no need to completely ban favorite foods—a sustainable eating pattern usually leaves room for flexibility.
