ヘルシー
Significado: Healthy food or lifestyle choice — a trendy, positive descriptor for nutritious and diet-conscious options.
Borrowed from English 'healthy,' ヘルシー is used more broadly and trendily in Japanese than its English source. It appears in restaurant marketing, food packaging, and casual conversation to describe anything perceived as good for your body. The word carries a fashionable, wellness-oriented nuance rather than a strictly medical one, often overlapping with concepts like organic and natural.
Ejemplos

- このサラダボウル、ヘルシーだしボリュームもあるよ。 这个沙拉碗既健康又量大。Este bol de ensalada es saludable y además muy abundante.이 샐러드 볼, 건강하면서 양도 많아.
