should we eat more to be healthy...?

I eat a lot but I'm still very thin, I haven't gotten sick except for minor colds for a very long time maybe 5 years and I haven't even got a fever. Who's to say I'm not healthy? Is it because I eat a lot? Maybe not, but I honestly don't know, I don't necessarily just eat healthy foods either. I eat anything!

Yes you're definitely right, a person can live a healthy life if he/she will eat a balance diet. It really depends on the person if he/she wants to live a healthy life.

Hi, I don't see the point by saying eating more to be healthy. From my point of view, to stay healthy, we have to pay extra attention to our food consumption. Eating more healthy food like vegetables and fruits, will keep us stay healthy. of course, we have to consume for vitamins in our daily life. It helps to boost up our immune system.

I don't think that we need to eat more in order to be healthy. i believe we should eat the right foods to stay healthy. More isn;t always better and less can be just what we need.

Apart from the healthy food we eat to stay healthy we should also consider what our bodies absorb. Being healthy is not just a choice. It's also knowing something about our body.

The more we eat, the more we kill ourselves. Most of the food right now are not healthy and natural compared to 30 years ago or so. It's sprayed with pesticides and unless you eat organic food, you can't say you're perfectly healthy. I agree with you, it's not the quantity but the quality. And if we eat more and sleep immediately and the food wasn't digested well, we might end up waking up in heaven or hell!

I believe that its quality...you may eat a lot, but what if the things that you take in your body is not really healthy, like junkfoods and such...then eating a lot is useless. Its all about eating healthy foods.

In my opinion , its not the amount of food that keeps a man healthy. It doesn't matter how much we eat, but it matter the nutritious value of the food. If we eat food which are nutritiously rich, we will be healthy, on the other side eating junk food of a larger quantity won't keep us healthy. So, whatever be the quantity , eat good and healthy food. Regards, krishnarjun

we should eat enough. more food just make the 'garbage' in our body full. do some exercise and sleep enough also important

It really depends on what works for you. Most people have to eat more healthy foods to remain healthy or rather foods that are considered to be healthy, because that can be a matter of opinion. While others can eat some more different foods, that might be a bit on the unhealthy side by some standards. I think that really, different people handle different things with their body. Still it is just down to what works for the person at hand. Still, moderating what is a good medium is going to allow you to live a nice healthy life, at least in theory at least.

quality of life is the number one concern of this generation, eating more than the required daily food will make you earn more weight and uhhealthy. and consider also what food you are eating if they are grown without pesticides. remeber that chemicals will give us sickness. and daily exercise....

Hi chayapathys! I think what you're saying is that it is best to eat frequently but in small portions. And yes it is best to eat healthier options like fruits and vegetables instead of junkfood or fatty food. Nutritionists say that we should eat frequently (like 5-6 times a day) BUT in small quantities. That way, we get full easily and we don't overeat.

eat well.means you have to eat in a proper meal with nutritious foods.which follows the food pyramid.

For me, no matter you eat more or less as long as it is healthy foods. Eating healthy food is very important especially nowadays that we are already exposed to non-healthy foods, like junk food and etc. I believe eating fruits after meals is good.
