Healthy eating isn't about perfection. It's about making nutritious choices more often. Choosing more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, proteins, dairy, and healthy fats while limiting added sugars, highly processed foods, and foods high in saturated fats and sodium can help lower your risk for chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. No need to swim against the current—small changes add up. This #SharkWeek#, start with one healthy choice at a time. 🌊 Start with your next meal: Fill much of your plate with fruits and vegetables and prioritize fiber-rich whole grains. #SharkWeek# #ChronicDisease# #Nutrition# #CDCHealth# #EatRealFood#
