Deep dives

The importance of variety in diet and the absence of a one-size-fits-all approach

Dietary needs vary among individuals and throughout different stages of life. While there is no single right diet for everyone, certain principles remain consistent, such as consuming a variety of plant-based foods, obtaining adequate protein for muscle synthesis, and ensuring a balance of healthy fats. Fiber is a crucial component that can only be obtained from plants, and most people fall short of the recommended daily intake. Prioritizing health and considering the value of a well-rounded diet is essential for everyone.
