Healthy food

There are always a lot of opinions about what is healthy for us and what isn't, have a look at this and test your knowledge.

I'm ashamed to admit I only scored 6 out of 10.

Re: Healthy food

ALL food is good food and healthy and nutritious.
It is an excess of some types of food that makes them unhealthy for us.

Re: Healthy food

Test is imo a nonsense and little more than a data gathering exercise. Really how much can one really garner from knowing your BMI index, waist size and so on. All this is doing is matching up your data against a set of statistics on a very broad brush basis. It didn't once ask what I ate.

Naturally I didn't put ANY personal data in there at all, didn't even answer the questions truthfully. Just wanted to see if it is what I thought it would be. They might as well have been employing students to stop people in the streets to ask for your personal details (name, address, email etc).

Essentially it wants your details and tries to get you to go visit a GP.

In short then it is little more than a business marketing tool to try and generate more business. Doubtless this will help increase the take up of things like the flu jab which will presumably come up in conversation if anyone is daft enough to follow the advice here and go see their GP.

Eat good food in as natural state as possible, only eat what your body actually needs, stay away from processed foods, stay away from sugar in particular and you will likely have better health than many.

Re: Healthy food

I agreed with most of your post, but you lost it at the end.
Sugar is essential for your body's metabolism...an excess of it in your diet will undoubtedly turn to adipose tissue.
And....what's so bad about processed foods in moderation?

Re: Healthy food

Mups I can't see a test for healthy food just the risk test

Re: Healthy food

Sorry Meg, I'm getting worse! Perhaps I need a 'Mind' quiz.
I think I put the diabetic link on twice didn't I?
How come no one else noticed?

Try this one.

Re: Healthy food

I think you might have got the wrong end of the stick Realist. You don't have to put in names, addresses, emails or any other contact information whatsoever.

Re: Healthy food

It is in tiny writing:- Tools,Calculaters,Apps & quizzes, Meg, just above the Risk Test

Re: Healthy food

I don't understand this Tabby? When I click on the last link in post 6, it takes me straight to the Healthy Eating Quiz.
Does that not happen on yours?

Re: Healthy food

Yes - it does if I click on that one instead of the first one. My post to Meg crossed with yours I think - I was just trying to be helpful - but you made a better job of it!

Surprisingly I scored 8.
