Build a balanced plate with more whole foods
A practical way to improve everyday meals is to make vegetables, fruit, beans, whole grains and other minimally processed foods regular choices.
Healthy eating is about the overall pattern of what you eat, not one “perfect” food. Aim for variety across vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts and whole grains, and choose less highly processed food where practical.
Small changes that add up
- Add a vegetable to meals you already enjoy.
- Choose fruit, nuts or other minimally processed options more often for snacks.
- Use beans, peas or lentils as part of regular meals.
People with medical conditions or special dietary needs should discuss major diet changes with a qualified health professional.
