Rising Healthcare Costs: The Crucial Role of Nutrition in Prevention
A colorful, bright family kitchen scene at dinnertime, with a diverse family (parents and two teens) sitting around a table enjoying a simple, healthy meal together. On the table are clearly visible “upgraded” everyday foods: whole grain pasta with vegetables and beans, a big salad bowl, sliced fruit, and yogurt with berries and seeds. The atmosphere should feel warm, relaxed, and real-life (not overly staged), with natural lighting and a modern but modest kitchen. Style should be clean and friendly, like lifestyle photography used on health and nutrition websites, with soft focus on the background and sharp focus on the food and faces.
