Healthy food vs fast food

Healthy Food Health food is food considered to be beneficial to health in ways that go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition.

Foods considered "healthy" may be naturals food, organic food, whole foods, and sometimes vegetarian or dietary supplements.

Such products are sold in health food stores or in the health/organic sections of supermarkets

Fast foods Fast foods are high in unhealthy fats, sodium and sugar.

Most fast foods are polar opposites of healthy foods. Fast foods are high in trans fats, sugar and sodium, which can lead to obesity, heart disease and diabetes among other health problems. Healthy foods, by contrast, are high in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and protein, and they promote energy, good health and longevity.

How do you get started on healthy eating?

Healthy eating starts with learning new ways to eat, such as adding more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and cutting back on foods that have a lot of fat, salt, and sugar.

A change to healthier eating also includes learning about balance, variety, and moderation.

What is difference between healthy food and junk food?

Healthy Food: Food that is helpful to the body.

Examples of healthy food include: fruit, vegetables, nuts, etc. These are best eaten with minimal previous processing.

Junk food: Food that can harm rather than help the body. Examples are: chips and other fatty foods. None of these foods are part of a healthy meal because of the processing necessary to make them crispy, salty or sweet.

Healthy eating helps our body to be healthy
