Maintaining a healthy lifestyle isn’t complete without proper nutrition. Our health and well-being are also dictated by the food we consume and our developing healthy eating habits.

Eating foods cooked from scratch is one of the best ways to improve your health. If this isn't possible, try to buy foods that are minimally processed, like roasted chicken as opposed to sausage, baked potatoes instead of chips, or fresh fruit instead of fruit snacks with added sugars. The less processed a food is, the better it is for your health.
