Eating a variety of foods provides us with the nutrients and vitamins we need to stay healthy.

A healthy meal includes protein such as meats, seafood, eggs, dried beans, peas and lentils; fruits and vegetables – think orange, red, green and purple; whole grains, including brown rice, whole grain breads, oats and wheat bran cereal. Remember to have half of your plate be fruits and/or vegetables.

Also, stay well hydrated. Drink water, tea or flavored water. (From National Council on Aging website)
