What is "HEALTHY" food these days? Nutrition trends.

Most nutritionists start to dislike the word “healthy”, because it’s a very biased word defined differently by different dietary theories.

A better term would be NUTRITIOUS foods. If you eat the most nutritious foods most of the time (amount of nutrients per calorie)

ANDI Food Scores: Rating the Nutrient Density of Foods

then YOU will be healthy.

The trend now is towards whole, organic, unprocessed foods as healthy foods and moving away from reductionist approach of making carbs/fats/proteins good or evil (or any nutrient for that reason).

We are moving towards holistic approach to our food and nutrition, approach that involves the influence of EVERY part of any food as a whole on our health and the expression of our genes in a given environment.

Also there are 2 huge trends:

towards individualized nutrition - one man’s food is another man’s poison

towards nutrition in relation to our gut health, gut microbiome - you are not what you eat, you are who you feed (meaning your gut bugs, who do the most of the digestion and assimilation of nutrients from the food we eat).
