Generally speaking “healthy” means The state of being free from illness or injury.
Kids need to eat from the 5 foods on most days of the week to maintain an “ill free status”
1. fruits 2 serves (1 serve = 10 grapes or 1 small banana)
2. vegetables 3-5 serves (1 serve= 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 cup salad)
3. breads and cereals up to 5 serves (1 serve = 1 slice of bread, 1/2 cup cereal)
4. low fat dairy 3-4 serves (1 serve= 100g low fat yoghurt or 150mL milk)
5. meats/meat alternatives 1-2 serves (1 serve = 60-100g meat or chicken or fish)
and a small amount of fats (margarine, oils) for cell function and repair

Great answer Hanan. In our practice, we tell parents that if they're in doubt, you can't go wrong with “fresh and green”.
