Tips on How to have a Balance Diet

A well balanced diet is to eat all types of different foods

 moderately.

This is to enable your body to absorb all the nutrients to 

grow healthily and to immune yourself from diseases.

When you are doing grocery shopping, do not judge foods

 on the calories alone, vitamins alone or mineral alone.

 

Read the overall nutrition label because you need a

 balanced of low and high calorie foods and other vitamins, 

minerals in your diet.

If a growing child consume too much of ONE type of food 

and rejects the others, it will lead to health trouble.

An excess amount of one type nutrient but insufficient intake 

of other essential nutrients will bound to drive the growing

 child sick or induce obesity problem.

Deteriorating diet that had caused children, teens and

 working adults to obesity, overweight and anorexia had

 been overwhelming  issue to health for these few decades.

Therefore, we need to educate ourselves to consume 

essential food, in order for our children and ourselves to 

grow up well, healthy and happily.

You may have sufficient carbohydrates and protein in your

 daily diet but Vitamins, minerals and calcium are essential

and important too.

In order for your body to absorb all nutrients moderately,

 select a variety of foods for a sensible and balanced diet.
