which foods to eat. Whole, nutrient-dense foods are a necessary part
of a healthy lifestyle. In addition, how you eat has an impact on
wellbeing. Do you rush through meals, eating on the go? Or do you
sit down with loved ones and savor your time together?
This section recommends that you make healthy food choices that
follow the dietary guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Health
and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This will give your body the
