A balanced diet is one that, in full and in the right proportion, ensures the intake of all nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, trace elements and minerals. To eat with it you need small portions and a regime consisting of 4-5 meals. In addition, it must take into account the age and individual energy needs of each person.
Basic rules of balanced nutrition
A balanced diet must be diverse. It includes:
- low-fat varieties of meat and fish;
- vegetables, legumes and greens;
- fruits and berries; all kinds of nuts;
- low-fat and low-fat dairy products;
- whole wheat and rye bread;
- macaroni from durum wheat;
- porridge;
- bran;
- all kinds of tea, water without gas, compotes, fresh and smoothies.
A balanced diet completely excludes fast food and sweet fizzy drinks. You also need to be careful with confectionery, baking, coffee, pickled and canned foods. It is better to give preference to bitter chocolate. Spices and condiments should be used sparingly.
