I am practicing vegetarianism. I have been vegetarian for a little over two years and I like the changes I have noticed in my health. At first, it was exciting. I was cooking new recipes and trying new dishes when I would go out. I am finding that I am missing textures from when I ate meat.

I want to go out with friends and eat and drink without anxiety. I can manage my calories by choosing healthier meals, but I have not figured out how much alcohol I can have.

I have been put on a medication that interferes with the amount of calcium in my body. What can I eat to keep the calcium up?

I keep having flare ups and I cannot figure out why. I have stopped eating fried foods, gluten, and almost all the American type of food. What do you think could be going on?

A balanced diet supplies the nutrients needed for the body to function properly. Healthy, balanced eating can be accomplished regardless of the dietary pattern one may choose. A well-balanced diet is composed of nutrients from high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Expanding food choices can aid in the diversification of the nutrients supplied to the body.
