What Does “Health Food” Really Mean in 2025?
Forget marketing jargon. Real health food should be:
- Nutrient-dense – full of vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein
- Minimally processed – short, recognisable ingredient lists
- Supportive of energy, digestion and long-term health
- Adaptable to your routine – easy to prep, pack or grab on the go
It’s not about being perfect or restrictive—it’s about functional nutrition: food that actually fuels your day, supports your recovery, and sustains you beyond the next snack attack.
