Chef Diamond and Friends believes that eating healthy is not a cost; its an investment for a happier, more productive and disease-free life.
Really? If eating healthy is expensive, what about paying for treatments and surgery such as chemotherapy, liver transplant, dialysis, buying drugs and so on?
Eating healthy is not a cost; it's an investment for a happier, more productive and a disease-free life.
So, what is eating healthy all about? For the human body to function well, it needs a good and balanced combination of all the six classes of food, which are carbohydrates, protein, fats, minerals, vitamins and water
So, eating healthy is consuming all these nutrients in moderation, and not in excess.
Eating healthy has many benefits, but let's take a look at three of them.
A HEALTHIER diet, a HEALTHIER world.
Today there is a new nutrition reality. It is a reality where undernutrition (such as micronutrient deficiencies, stunting and wasting) , overweight, obesity and diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and cancer now coexist in the same countries, communities, households and even individuals. This is what is called the double burden of malnutrition which impacts not only our health but also that of future generations, the health of our planet and our economies.
