What is a healthy diet?

When my husband was diagnosed with MCI then dementia, his doctors suggested he start the Mediterranean Diet. Simply put, avoid processed food and shop for fresh fruit and veg whenever possible. Half your plate should be fruit/veg, one quarter lean protein and one quarter whole grains (with minimum 3 grams fiber per serving).
We have a local group that hosts smart shopping tours at our local grocery store to guide folks regarding making healthy choices.
Good luck!

@judimahoney , I try my best to eat that way. I do most of the time. I stopped the white sugar and now use Monk Fruit sweetener. Not sure it’s any better, but so far I like it. I only use a bit in my coffee.
