Why it matters: A balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy helps our bodies get essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein — all of which support growth, immunity, energy, digestion, and long-term health.
Smart food choices:
- Prefer whole-grain breads/rice over refined flour or white rice.
- Include pulses, beans, or lean meats for protein instead of always going for heavy, fried, or processed foods.
- Fill half your plate with colourful vegetables and fruits — they bring vitamins, fiber, antioxidants, and protect against chronic diseases.
Healthy drinks to favour:
- Water (plain, or with a squeeze of lemon) — hydration is basic but vital.
- Low-fat or unsweetened milk/yogurt drinks, or natural beverages — rather than sugary soft drinks or heavily sweetened juices.
Let’s use this thread to share:
- Favorite healthy recipes or snack ideas you use — regional foods, simple drinks, or lunchbox combos
- Challenges you face when trying to eat healthy (time, taste, budget, cravings)
- Tips to make healthy eating easy and sustainable, especially in busy lifestyle or family settings
Looking forward to hearing your ideas, recipes, and experiences!
