The best way to store food varies depending on the type. Fruits and vegetables should be stored in a cool, dry place, with some (like apples and bananas) kept outside the fridge, while others (like berries and leafy greens) should be refrigerated. Dairy products should be stored in the coldest part of the fridge, and packaged foods should be kept in a cool, dry pantry.

Opt for beverages that are low in added sugars and high in nutrients. Water, unsweetened teas, and smoothies made with whole fruits and vegetables are great options. Avoid sugary sodas and energy drinks, as they often contain empty calories and artificial ingredients.

Organic foods are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which many people prefer for environmental or health reasons. While the nutritional difference between organic and non-organic foods is often minimal, many choose organic for peace of mind regarding chemical exposure.

It’s important to have a healthy relationship with food. Enjoying indulgent foods occasionally is fine, as long as it doesn’t become a regular habit. Moderation is key. Balance indulgence with healthy choices by focusing on nutrient-dense meals most of the time and allowing room for occasional treats.
