What is a Balanced Diet?

In a balanced diet you must have carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals salts and fibre in the correct proportions. If there is not enough protein, you will not be able to grow properly and you will not be able to repair yourself i.e. wounds will not heal properly. If you do not have enough energy containing foods you will feel very tired, you will not have enough energy. If you have too much energy containing foods you will become overweight. If you think that you are overweight you might try taking more exercise to "burn off" some of the excess food which you ate at you last meal.

Balanced Diets: we must have the all these items in the correct proportions. Carbohydrates: these provide a source of energy.
Proteins: these provide a source of materials for growth and repair.
Fats: these provide a source of energy and contain fat soluble vitamins.
Vitamins: these are required in very small quantities to keep you healthy.
Mineral Salts: these are required for healthy teeth, bones, muscles etc.
Fibre: this is required to help your intestines function correctly; it is not digested.

Natural foods

Natural foods fight cholesterol in a number of ways. Although dietary supplements are available for many of these natural substances, they are generally not as effective as the real thing.
