There is a general perception that a healthy plate is always plant-based and consists of lots of greens and salads or neatly packed food in glass containers for consumption throughout the week.
While that might be a good example of healthy eating for some of us, it is also a narrow definition of healthy eating. It carries the implication that other cultures’ foods and habits are not healthy because they do not fit what the media and mainstream nutrition advice have deemed to be healthy eating. Healthy eating is different for everyone and depends on culture and environment, dietary restrictions, religious beliefs, food preferences, and many more aspects.
During this month of nutrition, I encourage you to celebrate your own unique food culture and explore that of others.
Keep safe and well,
Truelove
