One half of the plate should be plant-based food ideally with a mix of different colored vegetables. Eating a variety of them maximizes our intake of nutrients overall as different micronutrients are present in different colored vegetables🌶. 🌽 🍅 🍆 🥒 🥕 🥗 . It can also help minimize the chances of getting sick from potential contaminants of one food

The other half of the plate should be equally divided into whole grains and lean protein-rich food. Remember the key is variety here. These foods can be taken from animal or plant sources..
