For a healthy lifestyle, nothing is more important than a balanced diet and taking into account all the essential nutrients that the body needs. A proper diet plan helps to achieve an ideal body weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
What is a balanced diet?
Simply put, it is a diet that provides nutrients that help the body function properly. The importance of nutrition is also in the intake of the right amount of calories. Your body gets proper nutrition when you eat a wide variety of calorie-dense foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and protein. A healthy diet is about feeling great, more energy, improving health and mood. Good nutrition, physical activity, and a healthy weight are essential parts of a person's overall health and well-being. If you do not maintain a proper diet for a healthy body, you may be more prone to illness, infection or even exhaustion.
In addition to a balanced diet, regular physical activity is also important, with which we can manage many health problems and improve mental health by reducing stress, depression and pain. Regular exercise can help prevent metabolic syndrome, stroke, high blood pressure, arthritis and anxiety.
What is a balanced diet?
A balanced diet includes some special groups of healthy foods:
- Vegetables such as leafy greens, starchy vegetables, legumes such as beans and peas, red and orange vegetables and others such as eggplant.
- Fruits, which includes whole fruit, fresh or frozen, but not canned fruit dipped in syrup.
- Cereals, such as whole grains and refined grains. For example, quinoa, oats, brown rice, barley and buckwheat.
- Proteins, such as lean beef and pork, chicken, fish, beans, peas and legumes.
- Dairy Products, such as low-fat milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, and soy milk.
A balanced diet usually contains 50 to 60 percent carbohydrates, 12 to 20 percent protein, and 30 percent fat. All organs and tissues need proper nutrition to function effectively by consuming the right amount of nutrients and calories to maintain an ideal weight. The general health and well-being of a person thus depends on a good diet, physical exercise and a healthy body weight.
