What is a Balanced Diet?
A Balanced Diet is consuming food in the proper proportion that is enriched with all the nutrients required by the body for proper growth and functioning. Every individual has different dietary needs according to age, gender, and physical activities. A healthy individual needs to consume about 2000 calories every day so that he can maintain his optimum body weight. Men generally need more calorie intake than women and children need even lesser calorie intake. This calorie and nutrient meter are calculated by a dietician and a proper diet chart is then advised accordingly.

A balanced diet consists of 7 important nutrients which are extremely important for a human body. Here is the list of them.
Carbohydrates are called “energy giving food” as they provide energy to the body. They are necessary for daily activities. Proteins are “bodybuilding food” and help in growth. Vitamins and Minerals are “protective foods” and help increase immunity and disease fighting capability of the body. Water, as we all know, is essential for our existence.
