A Balanced Diet
What is a Balanced Diet?
A Balanced Diet
A balanced diet is one that includes the right amounts of different types of foods to support your growth and health. It consists of foods which provide energy that help build and repair the body, and support overall health. A healthy, balanced diet includes foods from all five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy. This ensures that you receive the necessary nutrients for your development and well-being.
What Ingredients Should You Avoid?
Ingredients to Avoid
When we eat healthy foods, our bodies feel strong and happy. But some ingredients are not good for us if we have too much. Sugar makes treats sweet, but too much can hurt our teeth and make us tired. Salt adds flavor, but eating too much can make our heart work too hard. Fats give us energy, but too many fried or oily foods can upset our body. That’s why we should limit sugar, salt, and some fats and choose more fruits, veggies, grains, protein, and dairy to build a balanced meal.
