8 Nutrition Rules Worth Memorising

Stop eating at 80% full — your brain's signal lags 20 minutes behind your stomach.

The biggest meal of the day should be lunch, not dinner.

Drink a large glass of water before every meal. Thirst often masquerades as hunger.

Eat with other people when you can — social meals reduce cortisol and improve digestion.

Colour variety on your plate = micronutrient variety. Aim for 5+ colours a day.

Fermented foods daily — yogurt, kefir or kimchi — rebuild your gut microbiome.

Processed sugar is the single fastest way to accelerate biological ageing.

Walnuts are the longevity nut. A small handful 5× a week lowers heart disease risk significantly.
