20s Food Life

Eating a healthy diet is good advice anytime, but it's smart to start a strong foundation now if you haven't already. Eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Eat your favorite vegetables or nuts rather than forcing yourself to eat things you hate. Eating healthy will help avoid medical conditions like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Have a bowl of fruit ready in the fridge for a quick snack and eat before you go to the grocery store to avoid any impulse purchases.
