The experts at Harvard have developed a plan that shows you how to eat for better health!

The food we eat fuels every system and organ in our bodies. Our diet affects how we think and feel and how healthy we are. In fact, about half of Americans have at least one preventable chronic disease linked to not eating right or a lack of physical activity.

Although each food choice we make may seem small, it’s the little decisions we make each day that can derail our health goals and increase our risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and even cancer.
