Simple Foods to Build a Balanced Plate

Eggs, fish, beans, and citrus fruits cover protein and vitamin C.

Protein helps your body repair cells and make new ones, and eggs, fish, beans, and meat are all good sources. Citrus fruits add vitamin C, which your body needs to grow and repair tissues and which helps it absorb iron. Health experts recommend at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.
