The foundation for good physical and mental performance is good health, which can be achieved through simple lifestyle changes. A balanced diet, sufficient protein and essential fats, vitamins and minerals, and appropriate carbohydrate intake are essential for a solid nutrition foundation. Eating natural, unrefined foods, building meals around protein, eating plenty of vegetables, ensuring the intake of sufficient essential nutrients, and snacking smartly can help maintain a healthy diet. A healthy diet, in turn, leads to better auto-regulation of energy intake and fewer health problems. Achieving optimal health requires every system of the body to have a sufficient pool of essential and micronutrients, and every bodily process plays a role in maintaining overall health.
