Well, today my topic is on a balanced diet. Hope you find it informatic for you.
What is balanced diet:
Source code
A balanced diet may be defined as that diet which contains all nutrients in the correct amount. In other words, "A diet consists of all the essential food elements e.g. Proteins, Carbohydrates, Vitamins, Fats, Minerals, and Water in correct proportion is called balanced diet". The ratio between Proteins, Fats, and Carbohydrates should be 1:1:4 respectively.
What is Nutrition:
Nutrition is the process in which you consume food or nourishing liquids, digest and absorb them and use them and use them for health and growth. Also, Nutrition can be defined as a three-part process i.e. consumption, digestion, and circulation of the food. The origin of the words 'Nutrition' is linked to the Latin words 'Nutritionem and Nutrire' meaning " a Nourishing" or "to nourish, suckle."
Generally, food and nutrition are considered synonyms to each other which are improper. In fact, food is a mixture of various substances which are essential for life whereas nutrition is a dynamic process in which body is made healthy by the consumption of food.

How many calories are needed by individual every day?
The question as to how much food one should take every day depends upon the type of work in which one is involved.
(i) An average man should take 2250 to 2500 calories every day.
(ii) An individual who performs a muscular job like Labourer, Farmer, Etc. may take 3500 to 4250 Calories.
(iii) People who are involved in sedentary work (sitting in the office or shops) need 2000 to 2500 calories.
