  • Summary

    • Healthy eating habits include choosing mostly nutritious food options from what is available to you (for example, fruits and vegetables), but also include enjoying food and making eating a fun part of your life.

    • Always denying yourself foods that you enjoy or eating too much or too little to feel good, isn’t healthy and may lead to disordered eating, or even a serious eating disorder. If you think that you or someone you know may have an eating disorder, talk with an adult and look for treatment ASAP.

    • Treatment for eating disorders is possible, but most effective if it begins early in the development of the disorder and includes specialists with expertise in treating eating disorders.
