10 Tips for Better Nutrition

We work with patients to improve their nutrition as part of a healthier lifestyle. Here are 10 of the most common tips we share—simple, practical steps that can help you feel your best and support your long-term wellness.

1. Eat fresh, locally grown organic fruits and vegetables of all colors.
   A rainbow of produce ensures a variety of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that support your immune system and overall vitality.

2. Choose organic meat, chicken, eggs, nuts, seeds, and wild-caught seafood.
   These whole food proteins are rich in essential nutrients and free of harmful chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics often found in conventional options.

3. Incorporate fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso soup.
   These promote a healthy gut microbiome, which is key to digestion, immunity, and even mental clarity.

4. Stay well hydrated—aim for at least 50% of your body weight in ounces of filtered water daily.
   Proper hydration boosts energy, supports detoxification, and improves digestion and skin health.

5. Cook with healing herbs like garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and turmeric.
   These flavorful ingredients naturally fight inflammation, support immunity, and elevate your meals.

6. Practice mindful eating—eat only when hungry, chew thoroughly, and avoid overeating.
   Slowing down helps you recognize satiety cues, improves digestion, and makes eating more enjoyable.

7. Enjoy at least 50% of your vegetables raw.
   Raw vegetables are packed with enzymes and nutrients that support cellular health and digestion.

8. Steer clear of processed carbs, fried foods, and preserved meats.
   These foods are often high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and additives that can trigger inflammation and fatigue.

9. Start your day with a balanced, nutrient-rich breakfast.
   Skipping breakfast can lead to blood sugar crashes. A wholesome morning meal supports steady energy and metabolism throughout the day.

10. Plan meals and snacks ahead of time.
    Having healthy options on hand makes it easier to make nourishing choices, even during a busy day.
