How to Build a Balanced Easter Plate

For steady energy and better digestion, aim to include:

– Protein (eggs, lamb, beef)
– Fiber (vegetables, salads)
– Healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, seeds)
– Smart carbs (fruit, root vegetables)

Small shifts like these can make a big difference in how you feel after your meal.
