Eat Well

Why it matters

The food you eat can affect your energy, weight, sleep, and long-term health. Eating well doesn’t mean strict diets or giving up everything you enjoy — it’s about balance, variety, and making small, sustainable changes.

Simple tips

  • Fill half your plate with vegetables or salad
  • Swap sugary drinks for water or no-added-sugar options
  • Cook more meals from scratch using whole foods
  • Limit “ultra-processed” foods (ready meals, crisps, sweets)
  • Watch portion sizes — eating slowly can help you notice when you’re full
