Good nutrition can help you avoid several common health problems. Here are three key examples:

• Heart disease: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can lower risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and excess body fat.

• Type 2 diabetes: Consuming fiber-rich foods, reducing added sugars, and moderating overall carbohydrate intake helps regulate blood sugar and reduce diabetes risk.

• Obesity: Balanced portion sizes and nutrient-dense foods support a healthy weight, which in turn lowers the risk of related conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

If you’d like, I can tailor these to your age, sex, activity level, and any medical conditions.
