Whole Foods Market, Health Starts Here Program

Whether you're just getting started on a healthy eating path or have been on the road to wellness for years, our four pillars of healthy eating can help guide your journey. At Whole Foods Market, we believe that focusing on these four pillars of healthy eating offers the greatest health benefits, no matter what dietary path you follow.

1.      Whole Food: Ensures you are eating micronutrient dense and free of unnecessary additives. A "whole food" is any food in its most essential, pure, delicious and basic form.

2.      Plant Strong: No matter what type of diet you follow, reconfigure your plate so that the majority of your meal is made from an abundance of plant-based foods. By eating more plants, you're helping your body get the key micronutrients it needs to function.

3.      Healthy Fats: Get your healthy fats by eating whole plant-based foods like nuts, seeds and avocados. Then, work to eliminate the amounts of extracted oils and processed fats you cook with on a daily basis.

4.      Nutrient Dense: Build your meals around recipes that emphasize plant-based foods.  Choose foods rich in micronutrients when compared to total caloric content. Look for the ANDI scoring system in Whole Food Market stores to help guide you.
