Hauora Wellbeing!
What does ‘healthy eating’ mean to you and what does it look like?
For me, personally healthy eating means consuming foods that are beneficial to my body and appearance. It means to eat a variety of food that will give me the nutrients that I need to maintain my own health. It looks like the consumption of food that consists in the food pyramid, consuming foods from the 4 lower boxes shown in the food pyramid, the Wheat section, Fruit and Vegetable section, Dairy section, and Meat section. With the suggested servings provided.
