Your Diet is Not Complete without these 7 Nutrients
A balanced diet provides the essential nutrients required for optimal health and well-being. It typically includes a variety of food groups: fruits and vegetables, whole grains, proteins (such as lean meats, fish, legumes, and nuts), and healthy fats. A balanced diet ensures adequate intake of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants while limiting processed foods, added sugars, and saturated fats. The portions of each food group should be appropriate to meet individual energy needs and lifestyle factors. Consuming a balanced diet supports physical health, maintains energy levels, and can prevent chronic diseases, contributing to overall well-being and longevity.
