Start small. Aim for a balanced plate — half vegetables and fruits, a quarter whole grains, and a quarter lean protein. Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Incorporate at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily — even walking counts. Most importantly, focus on consistency, not perfection. A healthy lifestyle isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about sustainable habits that nourish your body and mind.
