What is a balanced diet.

Most nutritionists recommend a balanced diet so that everyone stays fit and stays healthy. However, the exact meaning of a balanced diet is not clear to everyone. A balanced diet is different from a crash diet because it allows you to eat anything that a normal adult should eat, but in optimal conditions. To get a good balance, you cannot settle for just one type of food. This would avoid the essential nutrients of complete meals. A "balanced diet" is only complete if you have a variety of foods from all the food groups that contribute to your food intake. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research, a diet consisting of a well-balanced combination of carbohydrates, protein, calcium, lipids, vitamins and minerals inside it is ideally a "balanced diet". In terms of Indian eating habits, our traditional diet is considered healthy. Since an average Indian diet includes grains, beans, legumes, vegetables, dairy, oils, nuts, fruits and vegetables, you can easily plan a balanced meal with these products.

Benefits of a balanced diet.
