Morphology
The meaning 'to consume food that is good for one's health' is directly and compositionally derived from 'eat' (to ingest food) combined with 'healthy' (good for health). Although the phrasing is colloquial (some may say 'eat healthily' or 'eat healthy food'), the semantic content is immediately inferable by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Eat healthy comes from the simple image of filling your plate with fresh fruits, vegetables, and other good food instead of junk. The word eat shows taking food into your body and healthy means 'well and strong', so the phrase means 'to choose food that keeps you well'.
