In this case it can be either one. Healthy Food = The general class / group of food that is healthy. Healthy Foods = Implies specific foods that are healthy. It's kind of like the difference between people and persons. They can usually be used interchangeably.

countable usually have a clear shape and can be picked by one: apples, chairs, hippos etc uncountable usually shapeless or can't be touched: water, sand news, advice, air however some words are both C and U depending on the meaning Time is unlimited. and I saw him three times.
