Healthy & Diet-Friendly Recipes

Healthy food refers to meals and ingredients that provide essential nutrients our bodies need to function properly. These foods are typically rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, while being low in unhealthy fats, sugars, and processed ingredients. A healthy diet includes a balanced variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins (such as fish, poultry, beans, and legumes), and healthy fats like those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
