healthy eating

Wholesome food choices

Healthy eating is the practice of choosing foods that promote physical well-being—typically emphasizing vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats.

The term appears constantly in nutrition advice and public health campaigns: The doctor recommended healthy eating and regular exercise.

What counts as healthy eating shifts with nutritional science and cultural trends.
