Did you know March is National Nutrition Month?  Yes, a whole month dedicated to healthy eating and nutrition beyond fad diets and hot trends.  When it comes to healthy eating we often look at short-term goals like weight loss and energy levels. However, the long-term benefits of proper nutrition should not be ignored. A whole food-focused diet has been proven to prevent chronic diseases including heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. When you add whole foods to your diet you naturally crowd out processed ingredients which leads to you living your best life, while looking and feeling great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An easy way to make sure you\u2019re eating the right foods is to think about how you\u2019ll fill your plate. Healthy eating doesn\u2019t just happen, it takes planning and preparation.   My recommendation, fill at least 1\/2 of your plate with non-starchy vegetables, \u00bc with lean organic protein, \u00bc with complex carbohydrates, and add a tablespoon or so of fat.  This combination allows for adequate intake of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, fiber and keeps your calories and blood sugar levels in check until your next meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
