Healthy is balanced

To simplify an otherwise complicated question, balance is the word to define “healthy” as it relates to nutrition. To answer the question of whether a food or a meal is healthy you have to ask first what does healthy mean? The truth is that it’s different for everyone and what one person needs differs from another. The outcome people are seeking through the vector of “healthy” is a sustained good feeling. This feeling is multi-factorial in that feeling good is the combination of mental, physical, emotional, and social factors. French fries and ice cream are a good example of foods that aren’t so simple to define whether or not they’re healthy. They provide some nutrition and energy and often both play a role in positive social and emotional feelings. However without balance they can become detrimental to your overall health.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good

When you seek out perfection in nutrition you will be left with nothing. How can we eat something that gives us proper energy, is low carb, low fat, environmentally friendly, cruelty free and with no effect on disease in humans? There’s nothing left except maybe crickets. We have to compromise and find a way of eating that produces balance, consistency, and variety. There is a way to enjoy delicious food, take care of your health, and pay mind to the environment. It is possible to accomplish this by eating more simply, eating food closer to it’s natural state and getting away from the processed snack foods that provide no value beyond novelty. The best place to start is to create the circumstances for consistent adherence to eating an energy balanced diet.
