The distinction in meaning betweenhealthy (.possessing good health.) and healthful (.conducive to good health.) was ascribed to the two terms only as late as the 880`s. This distinction, though tenaciously supported by some critics,is belied by citational evidence—evidence clearly indicating thathealthy and healthful have shared the meaning .conducive to good health. since at least the mid-'th century, or for more than 400 years. Use ofhealthy in this sense is to be found in the works of a broad group of distinguished speakers and writers of English, with this example being typical:
Healthy （.拥有良好的健康状况.）和 healthful （.有益于健康的.）在意思上的区别直到9世纪80年代才被确定。 虽然有些专家固执地支持这种区别，但它与引文中得出的证据不符——这些证据清楚地表明至少从'世纪中叶或者说四百多年来，healthy 和 healthful 都有.有益于健康的.这一意义。 Healthy 这一意义从一大群杰出的演讲者和作家的作品中可以找到，在这个意义上的用法以这个例子最具代表性：
例句：
.Gardening . . . and working in wood, are fit and healthy recreations for a man of study or business. (John Locke).
.从事园艺 . . . 和在树林中劳作对于学习或上班的人来说，是一项适合而健康的消遣. （约翰·洛克）。

Therefore, bothhealthy and healthful are correct in these contexts: a healthy climate, a healthful climate; a healthful diet, a healthy diet.
所以在这样的语境中，healthy 和 healthful 都是正确的： a healthy climate，a healthful climate； a healthful diet，a healthy diet
