Is “eating healthy” more about eating good food or not eating bad food?
In: 5
Eating “healthy” is kind of a catchall for many ideas.
To eat healthy you need to have an idea of your bodies nutritional needs, calorie needs, and food borne health risks such as allergies.
A healthy plan for a professional athlete will be different for an obese person to lose weight safely.
But, for a general purpose eating healthy would be to eat diet that is balanced in terms of nutritional guidelines and limiting foods that are high in salts, fats, and sugars.
There is no such thing as a bad food, unless you count rotten foods. What we consider “bad foods” are simply foods that offer low nutritional value or have excessive amounts of things that can be detrimental to your health of consumed in excess and not in moderation. For example having a fast food meal occasionally isn’t bad. Eating fast food for every meal everyday will have negative impact eventually.
