There are lots of healthy recipes on websites and I'm sure you will have lots of books. The most important thing that I can say about food is it should be fresh and it should be homemade. Anything that you buy premade will have a lot of salt, lots of sugar and lots of preservatives in it.

And this is not good for your body. The only thing it is good for is for the manufacturer because you'll want to buy more of it, which will make him very happy and very rich. So, remember your food is your fuel for your body and for your health.
