Humans are omnivores, meaning we eat both plants and animals. This flexibility helped early humans survive in different environments and gives us access to a wide range of foods today. From fruits and vegetables to meat and grains, our diet reflects the diversity of global cultures and cuisines.
A balanced omnivorous diet can support good health by combining nutrients from both plants and animals. Meat and fish provide essential proteins, while fruits, vegetables, and grains add fiber and vitamins. However, eating too much processed food or meat can lead to health problems, making balance and moderation key.
Our food choices also impact the environment. Meat production requires significant resources and contributes to climate change, while large-scale farming can harm ecosystems. To eat sustainably, we can reduce meat consumption, choose locally grown foods, and explore alternatives like plant-based options. Being mindful of what we eat helps us stay healthy and protect the planet.
