Balanced Eating: Nourishment for Body and Mind
Balanced eating isn’t about restriction—it’s about intention. It means fueling your body with a variety of nutrients that support energy, focus, and recovery. A well-rounded diet includes:
- Lean proteins for muscle repair and satiety
- Whole grains for sustained energy
- Fruits and vegetables for vitamins, minerals, and fiber
- Healthy fats for brain function and hormone balance
- Hydration to support every cellular function
Eating well helps regulate mood, improve sleep, and enhance academic and physical performance.
