How would you explain what it means to embody the term living well?
Is it feeling some type of fulfillment in life, staying healthy, or maybe finding a balance in your everyday routines?
Everyone has their own opinions and values about the idea of wellbeing, what you can do to live healthier, and how to benefit or improve yourself in many aspects. I believe the two most important and key factors are personal growth and health.
At the end of the day, you want to live beneficially and feel better about yourself overall. And what better way to improve than to take care of your mind, body, and spirit through a well-balanced diet and learning positive eating habits.
When it comes to eating well there are a variety of ways to go about it, especially when it comes to food. United’s Living Well Department firmly believes in eating better to feel better and showing our ideals through our superior service and quality products. Our variety of dietary and more natural consumables continuously provide for those who wish to improve their physique and overall health.
Every person has their own eating preferences or foods they enjoy often. Choosing specific comfort foods or products that they can personally trust from peer recommendations, confident sources, or past experiences. And thankfully there are websites that can become a guide for those who may not have the knowledge to improve their physical health.
A very popular website is EatingWell, an award-winning publishing site that’s been posting for over 30 years.
In their article about their website called About us; Who We Are, the creators explain how their mission is to share flavorful recipes with fresh ingredients from all around the world and those behind the creation of the recipes.
“Through science-backed wellness advice and smart stories about sustainability, we help readers live their best lives. We are about moderation and balance—not strict rules or fad diets—because for eating well to become a way of life, it should be accessible, sustainable, inspiring and—above all—delicious.”

Another popular website is Lifesum, one of the world’s leading nutrition specialized sites that helps make eating healthy simple for its readers. On their article page they provide two sub-pages, one full of a variety of healthy recipes for meals, and another page full of short story articles on beneficial routines and products.
“Our health advisors and nutritionists are experts in their field and dedicate their work to helping communities learn healthier eating habits, eat balanced diets, and achieve their goals in sustainable ways, whether it’s weight loss, a more active lifestyle, or muscle building and weight gain. Get to know our team and discover their impressive credentials.”

Lifesum also has a popular app powered by AI that has about 60 million users. The app gives expert advice on what, when, and how much to eat that tailors towards your own goals and eating lifestyle.
There are also recipe-based websites that focus on providing specific recipes for readers who want a more direct approach to their eating habits and pallets.
AllRecipes is a home cooks community website that focuses on sharing its user’s home-made, simplified, or perfected recipes. They hold the title of being the world’s leading digital food brand keeping over 60 million home cooks connected through sharing recipes daily.
The creators behind this website also share on many social media platforms and have a large scale digital-to-print magazine that they launched in 2013 that gets published 6 times a year.
“Every day, cooks from around the world share recipes and inspire one another through recipe photos, ratings, reviews, and videos. The combination of the Allrecipes community with our team of editorial and kitchen professionals provides authority found nowhere else on the internet and has turned the brand into an indispensable resource for cooks of all skill levels.”

Another popular recipe-based site is Epicurious.
This site is a trusted and authoritative archive resource for home cooks. Publishing original recipes and stories about affordable cooking, and how to cook more creatively and efficiently.
“Our readers are confident in the kitchen and eager to take their cooking and cocktails to the next level. To deliver thorough guides to technique, best practices for the kitchen, and how-to’s for keeping your equipment and home sparkling clean, we consult a range of industry professionals, including food scientists, chefs, and bartenders. We prioritize working with a diverse network to ensure a wide scope of backgrounds and experiences are represented.”

Although websites can be helpful for anyone who needs a guideline to cooking, improving physique, and eating healthier. There are consumers who need a more direct or visual approach and would prefer following a teacher or possible expert when trying to live better.
