"Steemit Engagement Challenge S7-W1: Healthy Nutrition".

Who wouldn't want a healthy meal to enhance their physical growth? Many today ensure their meals are well prepared to meet at least 4 classes of food on a daily basis while some may not be able to achieve these due to lack of funds to purchase, but they still adapt.

Healthy eating is the practice of consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods in moderation, with an emphasis on plant-based sources, and minimizing the intake of added sugars, unhealthy fats, and refined grains.

It is a way of nourishing the body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally.

Some principles of healthy eating include:

• Eating a variety of foods from all food groups, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and healthy sources of protein.

• Limiting the intake of added sugars, unhealthy fats, and refined grains.
  Choosing foods that are minimally processed and free of artificial additives.

• Being mindful of portion sizes.

• Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

By following these principles, you can help to promote good health, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

It's important to note that everyone is different, and what constitutes a healthy diet will vary depending on an individual's age, sex, body size, and activity level, among other factors.

• Eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods is important because it can help you maintain overall health and well-being. Nutrients, minerals, and vitamins are essential for the proper functioning of the body's various systems. For example, minerals like calcium and magnesium are important for healthy bones, while vitamin C is important for a healthy immune system.

In addition, getting enough of these nutrients can help you maintain a healthy weight, as well as reduce your risk of developing certain health conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

it is also important to eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of different nutrient-rich foods in order to support the body's various functions and stay healthy.

We have a menu of certain meals which includes all the classes of food on a daily basis. The food I consume most in my menu is rice and beans. These two meals are inevitable in my house and I consider these two foods to be a healthy diet however they are prepared and served as they contain the major classes of food

Here's my healthy meal plan for one of the days of the week.
