Eating healthily is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet that includes fresh fruit, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help keep your energy levels up and your weight down. It is also important to limit your intake of processed foods, added sugars, and unhealthy fats. Adding more nutritious snacks to your diet, such as nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit, can help prevent unhealthy cravings.
