Large quantities of processed, high-fat, high-sodium, low-fiber foods washed down with sweet beverages—standard fare for many Americans—may lead to mid-section fat, chronic inflammation, and increased risk for many diseases. "A goal could be smaller portions, with fruits and vegetables the foundation of the meal," says Peggy Marchini, registered dietitian. "A variety of fresh foods prepared at home can include ample vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and dietary fiber."
