DIETS AND HEALTHFUL EATING

By: | Tags:

Healthful eating means consuming nutrient-dense foods in the right quantities from all five main food groups as no single group can provide everything we need for good health. People often think of a diet as a specific weight-loss plan, but diet is simply the types and amounts of food we eat.
