Question

When considering diet in the context of other cultures, food habits can be classified according to nutritional impact. Which category of food habits is the first factor that should be considered?​

Answer 1

The correct answer is Food use that has positive health consequences and should be encouraged

Proper nutrition is the key to healthy living. A correct diet is one that has all the necessary nutrients for the body and in the appropriate amount. Therefore, eating in large quantities is not synonymous with healthy eating.

Food is used by our body to carry out metabolism, help in the maintenance and growth of tissues, in addition to providing energy. It is worth noting, however, that the functions performed by a given food depend on the nutrients it has.
