35 Fruits & Veggies to Solve Your Skin, Digestion, and Inflammation Problems

If you ask any experts out there about what’s the best thing you can do to take care of yourself and your health, they would probably say having a balanced diet is key.  I spoke to The Thirty for this piece about what this means and some of the foods you can eat to solve some common problems:

So what exactly is a “balanced diet”? I went to the experts to answer that question. “A well-rounded pattern of eating is one that nourishes the body,” explains Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN of Brooklyn-based Maya Feller Nutrition. “The basis is to have a higher proportion of whole and minimally processed foods such as vegetables (both starchy and non-starchy), fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. And for those who consume animal products, plain or fermented dairy, lean meats, poultry, and fish. Ideally, this pattern of nourishment would have limited added sugars, salts, and synthetic fats. Because there is no one size that fits all, it would also include flavors and spices unique to the individual with sustainability in mind.”
