In this article you can learn about healthy food, more specifically plant based diet.

Difference Between Healthy and Unhealthy Food

There are many definitions for healthy food, but one of the best definitions about healthy food is that eating the food, which is not adulterated, seasonal, locally sourced and is in its original form. More specifically natural plant based foods are considered healthy as they are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, and most fruits and vegetables also have high water content and are rich in vitamins and minerals.

In contrast to that, the food which is processed and preserved does not contain enough nutrients and minerals, and thus, it is called unhealthy food.

According to many researches, plant based food products will provide a lot of health benefits when compared to other types of food products.

Plants based food is the food which is prepared or contains ingredients that are derived from plants. Apart from fruits and vegetables, plant-based food also includes seeds, nuts, oils, whole grains, beans, legumes, etc.

Our traditional Indian food is nature inspired and largely derived from plants and vegetation. It consists of spices, fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes, and other plant-based ingredients. All these ingredients make Indian food tasty as well as healthy.
