A balanced diet is one that gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions. To get the proper nutrition from your diet, you should consume fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, lean meat and whole grains. All these include a lot of vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to your body. Whole grains contain more fibre than white varieties.
Without good nutrition, your body is more prone to disease, infection, fatigue and poor performance.
At the core of a balanced diet are foods that are low in unnecessary fats and sugars, and high in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Besides adding certain foods to your diet, you should also reduce your consumption of certain substances to maintain a balanced diet and healthy weight. These include alcohol, refined grains, fats, salt and sugar.
