Yes, getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night and staying active during the day will better your health, improve your mood, and lower your risk of various diseases, but you can’t stay well and fuel your body without the right set of nutrients.

I grew up swimming, and I love it for a lot of reasons. In my home state of Michigan, learning to swim is a necessity with all of the lakes around.

If you want to get the most nutritional bang for your buck, the best deals are “superfoods.” While there’s no real definition of a superfood, at EatingWell, we think of them as foods that are nutrient-dense (and there are many of them).

Your superfood consumption probably already includes many nutrient powerhouses—like bananas, eggs and broccoli—and maybe even some more unique ones (acai, anyone?...

Most of us don’t get enough vegetables. In fact, 90% of Americans don’t get the recommended 2-3 servings a day. (For most vegetables, 1 cup is a serving. For raw, leafy vegetables like salad greens it’s 2 cups). Vegetables are a great source of healthy nutrients like fiber, potassium, folate and vitamin A.

A few years ago, I was about to get married and wanted to lose some weight. I was eating healthy and exercising, but just wasn’t seeing the ~dramatic~ results I wanted.
