BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Healthy Foods What is your definition of healthy food?

I like to eat unprocessed whole foods with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables. What is your definition of healthy food?

Great question Angela!

I just made note last week that often I do not eat anything because I know too much about healthy eating and digesting. The knowledge can make me opt to not eat until I am starving and of course, then I grab anything quick, most often far worst than my original options.

BTW, I agree with your definition.

Hmm... for me, healthy food is basically anything I make at home from scratch. I can control the ingredients so I make sure everything is uber fresh -- fruits, vegetables, seafood, poultry.... Lots of multi-grain, fiber rich foods are also part of my diet. We eat a lot of grilled, baked & quick stir-frys.

Making food at home really allows you to control the type of oil, the amount of oil, the amount of salt, the method of preparation & portion sizes.

I read the nutritional label of every product I purchase too.

Healthy food means fresh fruits

I agree! Fresh fruits are the best--I credit fresh fruit with lowering my blood pressure naturally.

For Me Healthy Food makes us healthy and if you are healthy Every Fresh food is Healthy for you . If Have some decease then Avoid even healthy food that harms for health .
