The document compares healthy foods and fast foods. It states that healthy foods are natural, organic, whole foods and supplements that are sold in health food stores or organic supermarket sections. These foods promote good health and energy. In contrast, fast foods are high in unhealthy fats, sodium, sugar and calories which can lead to obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other health problems. The document then provides examples of how to start healthy eating by adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains and cutting back on fatty, salty and sugary foods. Finally, it distinguishes between healthy foods like fruits and nuts that help the body, versus junk foods like chips that can harm the body due to processing.

2. Healthy Food
Health food is food considered to be beneficial
to health in ways that go beyond a
normal healthy diet required for human
nutrition.
Foods considered "healthy" may be naturals
food, organic food, whole foods, and
sometimes vegetarian or dietary supplements.
Such products are sold in health food
stores or in the health/organic sections of
supermarkets

3. Fast foods
Fast foods are high in unhealthy fats, sodium
and sugar.
Most fast foods are polar opposites of healthy
foods. Fast foods are high in trans fats,
sugar and sodium, which can lead to
obesity, heart disease and diabetes among
other health problems. Healthy foods, by
contrast, are high in vitamins, minerals,
healthy fats and protein, and they promote
energy, good health and longevity.

5. How do you get started on
healthy eating?
Healthy eating starts with learning
new ways to eat, such as adding
more fresh fruits, vegetables, and
whole grains and cutting back on
foods that have a lot of fat, salt, and
sugar.
A change to healthier eating also
includes learning about balance,
variety, and moderation.

6. What is difference between healthy food and
junk food?
Healthy Food: Food that is helpful to the body.
Examples of healthy food include: fruit,
vegetables, nuts, etc. These are best eaten
with minimal previous processing.
Junk food: Food that can harm rather than help
the body. Examples are: chips and other fatty
foods. None of these foods are part of a
healthy meal because of the processing
necessary to make them crispy, salty or
sweet.
