Some of the components of a balanced diet are: Fat Fat meets some of our energy needs. Fat is found in fatty foods such as butter, ghee, oil and cheese. Protein We need protein for developmental needs and to repair the body’s breakdown. Protein also helps build muscle. It is found in dairy products, sprouted grains, meat, eggs and chicken. Carbohydrates We need the energy to process it, which is done with carbohydrates. Carbon gives us energy. Carbohydrates are found in rice, wheat, chapatti and bread. Cereals are our main food. Minerals and vitamins

A balanced diet contains six essential nutrient groups that are essential for good health. The outline of these groups is given below. Proteins are involved in the development, repair and general maintenance of the body. Lipids or fats, the main constituents of cell membranes and signaling molecules, are a rich source of energy, and as myelin they insulate neurons (nerve cells). Vitamins are important in a series of biochemical reactions. Minerals are important for maintaining ionic equilibrium and for many biochemical reactions. Water is important for life. Metabolic functions occur in aqueous environments and water acts as a solvent for dissolving other molecules. Malnutrition of any kind can lead to disease, starvation (or dehydration), and later death. Fiber is a component of the diet that is not nutritious but is important to include in the diet. Fiber or rug is an indigestible carbohydrate and plays an important role in facilitating the movement of food through the intestines. Certain molecules are absolutely necessary in the diet. This is because although the body can make the molecules it needs, it cannot make some essential molecules. These molecules are called essential nutrients and should be fed, for example, the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. The other components of the human diet are not nutrients because they do not work to promote production, growth or repair, but are consumed for other purposes. For example, spices and other flavors help to make food more palatable; Tea and coffee drinks provide a good source of water and may contain other valuable substances such as antioxidants. An adequate diet is essential for health, and education plays an important role in educating people about what a healthy diet is, but often, as in the case of science, information varies. Information about what we should eat comes from a variety of sources: In the UK, a large amount of information has been collected and published in the Coma, Medical Inspections of Food Policy (1991). This committee has now been dissolved, but its publications still represent the source of valid information about food. When the course was published (2007), the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) advised the Department of Health and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) that the Food Standards Agency had prepared a guide to ‘balancing good health’. Currently (2020) the Public Health England Atwell Guide is being developed to visually communicate government recommendations for healthy eating. Lack of adequate supply of any nutrient is known as malnutrition, which leads to poor health. Browse the related video
