Sigma Nutrition Radio

NOTE

Prioritize Whole Foods for Optimal Nutrition

Choose whole grains instead of refined grains to enhance dietary quality. Focus on a diet abundant in fruits and vegetables while limiting nonfat dairy products and opting for lean sources of protein such as fish and poultry. Incorporate plant proteins that provide essential nutrients along with healthy fats. Identify and reduce major sources of saturated fats, like red meat and full-fat dairy, by adjusting portion sizes and consumption frequency. Favor foods prepared with unsaturated oils, emphasizing polyunsaturated options. When selecting components for meals, aim for healthy replacements that maintain overall dietary balance, rather than simple substitutions, recognizing the complexity of food combinations throughout the day.
