Living well may have less to do with strict diets and more to do with choosing high-quality foods<\/a> you enjoy, experts say.<\/p>\n

New York-based registered dietitian Kelly Springer, founder of Kelly’s Choice, said joyful eating can lower stress, improve digestion and support a healthier relationship with food. That doesn’t mean “indulging without intention,” she told Fox News Digital \u2014 but “it means choosing foods that make you feel good both physically and emotionally.”<\/p>\n

Simon Feldhaus, a Swiss longevity specialist with 30 years of experience, recently told CNBC’s “Make It”<\/a> that he doesn’t believe in a single “healthy diet,” but rather in eating foods that genuinely make people feel good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

COMMON FOOD MAY BOOST HEART HEALTH WITHOUT CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“For me, nutrition, food and eating,<\/a> it’s not a chemical, scientific-based thing, but emotional,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s a little bit about science, but it also must be pleasurable for me to eat the fruit. Surely, there are some days where I don’t follow these rules, but most of the days I do.”<\/p>\n

Below are the foods that experts say can spark joy and support long-term wellness.<\/a><\/p>\n

Feldhaus centers his meals around quality proteins and fats. While he skips milk, he embraces yogurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The most important thing is the quality of the food, not really what the food is,” he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Amie Hornaman, a functional medicine doctor in Pennsylvania, agreed that ingredient quality is “everything.” “Your cells are literally built from the food you eat,” she told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Springer recommends paying attention to foods that are minimally processed and to read nutrition labels carefully.<\/p>\n

Feldhaus doesn’t obsess over which protein is best. What matters most, he said, is the source. For him, that means Swiss beef and locally raised meats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This kind of quality is what I try to get for every food I eat,” he said.<\/p>\n

Springer added, “High-quality cheeses or meats<\/a> often contain fewer additives and provide higher nutrient density per serving, which may help with portion control while also providing better fuel for our bodies.”<\/p>\n

If it doesn’t grow in Switzerland at that time of year, Feldhaus said he leaves it off his plate.<\/p>\n

Springer noted that seasonal produce<\/a> is typically richer in nutrients because it’s harvested at peak ripeness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It also tastes better when in season, which may encourage people to eat more vegetables,”<\/a> she said. “Eating seasonally provides greater variety as seasons change, offering a wider range of vitamins and minerals.”<\/p>\n

Eating with the seasons helps keep your body’s natural rhythm on track, Hornaman added, and that rhythm plays a major role in metabolism and healthy aging.<\/p>\n

Feldhaus doesn’t ban carbohydrates. Instead, he chooses the ones he genuinely enjoys, such as hearty wheat and dark breads.<\/p>\n

Hornaman noted that this kind of approach can make nutritional sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Fast-acting carbohydrates are the No. 1 driver of insulin spikes, and insulin spikes are one of the fastest ways to sabotage metabolism, mood and longevity,”<\/a> Hornaman said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most people function better when they anchor meals<\/a> around protein and fat and incorporate slower-digesting carbs such as whole grains, oats and sweet potatoes as needed for activity and hormonal balance, she added.<\/p>\n

Eggs, oily fish and other sources of omega-3s are staples in Feldhaus’ diet. He calls egg yolks \u2014 rich in lecithin \u2014 essential for brain health and longevity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I eat a huge amount of eggs,” he said.<\/p>\n

Omega-3s help reduce inflammation, support brain function<\/a> and strengthen cell membranes, Springer added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This aids in improved mood, cognitive health and overall healthy aging,” she said.<\/p>\n

Hornaman agreed, saying, “When patients increase omega-3 intake, mood improves, anxiety drops and cognitive clarity comes back online.”<\/p>\n

This unusual carbohydrate gives Feldhaus energy without spiking insulin \u2014 and he believes it fuels his brain as well.<\/p>\n

Some small studies suggest galactose may offer a low-glycemic energy source, while other research \u2014 particularly in animals \u2014 links high doses of D-galactose to oxidative stress and accelerated aging, prompting experts like Hornaman to warn that it’s not a “magic bullet.”<\/p>\n

“This may be something that is approached with caution,” Springer agreed. “Galactose will be metabolized differently than glucose, with a smaller insulin spike initially, but it still converts to glucose in the liver.”<\/p>\n

She added that people naturally consume galactose through high-quality dairy and seasonal produce.<\/p>\n

“Longevity relies on consistency,” she said. “Choosing high-quality, minimally processed foods, enjoying what you eat and nourishing your body and your mind creates the foundation for lifelong health.”<\/a><\/p>\n
