foods high in macronutrients, like protein, that support muscle health and help us feel fuller after eating

essential vitamins and minerals the body needs to function

antioxidants and phytonutrients, which are compounds found in plants that support human immune function and defend against the cellular damage that can lead to disease

fatty acids, like omega-3s, that help reduce inflammation in the body
