source of energy for the body and brain

the key lies in choosing the right type
0:27
of carbs complex carbohydrates found in
0:30
whole grains fruits and vegetables
0:32
provide essential nutrients and fiber
0:34
while refined carbs like sugary snacks
0:36
should be limited eliminating carbs
0:38
entirely can deprive your body of

fiber which are crucial for overall

0:52
gain and heart disease leading many
0:54
people to opt for fat-free products

that healthy fats such as those found in

always healthier than Frozen or Cann
1:20

vegetables are typ typically processed
1:30
shortly after harvest locking in their
1:34
ripeness these options can be just as
1:36
healthy as fresh produce and are often

1:49
occurs when calorie intake exceeds

calorie expenditure regardless of the
1:54
consumed what truly matters is the
1:56
quality and quantity of food eaten
1:58
throughout the day rather than the
2:01
meals finally many believe that meat is
2:04
necessary to meet protein
2:05
requirements while meat is a rich source
2:08
of protein plant-based foods like beans
2:10
lentils tofu Tempe nuts seeds and whole
