A Balanced Diet

A balanced diet involves consuming the right foods in the right amounts to maintain a healthy and strong body. It means eating a variety of foods so that we get all the nutrients our body needs.

  • For good health, our body should get all the different constituents of food, namely, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, in the right quantities.
  • A diet that provides all these constituents in the right quantities is called a ‘balanced diet.’

Significance of a balanced diet:

  • An increased capacity to work.
  • Good physical and mental health.
  • Increased capacity to fight or resist diseases.
  • Helps in the proper growth of the body.

Apart from having a balanced diet, we also need to exercise regularly to keep ourselves fit and healthy.
