Let's start first by understanding what healthy eating is. Healthy eating is simply eating right, eating food with the right nutritional proportion, eating what provides the necessary nutrients needed for the body to function properly, and maintaining good health, energy and well-being. Eating healthy is about eating a balanced diet.

A balanced diet contains all classes of food in their right proportion. The human body has its nutritional requirements to function rightly; it includes food rich in carbohydrates for energy, protein for bodybuilding, and vitamins to facilitate and regulate metabolic functions in the body, helping the body in numerous ways to function optimally.

The statement that eating healthy becomes too expensive as well as complicated is so true, this is so because having to stock your store each time with the basic food items you need, is very difficult and yet somewhat impossible, items like vegetables and fruits cannot be bought and stored for a long period. A person who might not have the luxury to store these items or buy them on a daily may see it as complicated and expensive to maintain since buying such items in bit will be more expensive in comparison to having to buy them in bulk.

Apart from the convenience of stocking your kitchen, eating healthy can also be complicated in the sense that a whole lot of strict rules must be adhered to, rules that will require you to have a certain knowledge of a good diet. It is also difficult to identify food choices that are both healthy and affordable since new trends and advice on nutrition and healthy eating is a continuous topic of discussion, one might tend to get confused about what is truly healthy to eat thus making eating healthy a complicated topic.

In conclusion, while the definition of the topic seems very simply, it is often difficult to apply in practical daily living with the present economic situation, the expense of fresh food contributes to the fact that healthy eating has become too expensive and complicated for the majority.
