General Healthy Eating - Framework Guide
Overview
The General Healthy Eating framework is built on the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate standards, optimizing metabolic flexibility, sustainable energy, and long-term metabolic wellness.

- Primary hydration from pure water or unsweetened herbal teas
Characteristic Foods & Ingredients
Commonly Included
