The 食育基本法, or Food Education Basic Law, is a law in Japan that promotes food education and aims to improve people's understanding of food, nutrition, and healthy eating habits.
Think of the 食育基本法 as a guidebook for learning about food. Just like how a map helps you navigate through unfamiliar territory, this law provides guidance on how to make informed choices about what we eat.
栄養 (eiyō): This term refers to nutrition and the essential nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy.
健康食品 (kenkō shokuhin): This term refers to health foods that are beneficial for our well-being.
バランスの取れた食事 (baransu no toreru shokuji): This term refers to a balanced diet that includes all the necessary nutrients in appropriate proportions.
