WHAT DOES HEALTH FOOD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Health food

Health food is food considered to be beneficial to health in ways that go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition.

Foods considered "healthy" may be natural foods, organic foods, whole foods, and sometimes dietary supplements. Such products are sold in health food stores or in the health/organic sections of supermarkets.
