Healthy Diet
A healthy diet is one that helps to maintain or improve overall health.
A healthy diet provides the body with essential nutrition: fluid, adequate essential
amino acids from protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and adequate
calories. The requirements for a healthy diet can be met from a variety of plant-based
and animal-based foods. A healthy diet supports energy needs and provides for human
nutrition without exposure to toxicity or excessive weight gain from consuming excessive amounts.
Basically, a healthy diet is a flexible diet and you can fine-tune your carbohydrate intake
depending on your goals.
The diet is high in vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, fruits, nuts and
fats, but low in starches, sugars and processed foods.Choose foods containing healthy fats.
Plant oils, nuts, and fish are the best choices. Limit consumption of saturated fats, and
avoid foods with trans fat. Choose a fiber-filled diet which includes whole grains, vegetables,
and fruits.
