Balanced diet
The food taken by an Individual should contain correct proportion of nutrients according to his age and work. This is called balanced diet.
Balanced Diet should contain 50% carbohydrates, 35% fats, 12% proteins, 3% minerals and Vitamins and
Sufficient amount of water and roughage.
It is rich in essential quality such as Vitamins, Minerals and Certain amino acids
It provides enough energy raw materials for growth of cells, tissues and organs
It provides the right quantum of energy required by the body.
Balanced Diet has three important qualities

The pyramid of a balanced diet
Add the followings to your food
Try to eat a variety of plant food Include corn or maize Soaked in water or boiled. This gives vitamins
and proteins to your body. Let Regi and Bajra which are rich sources of calcium and iron, form
part of your food. Let Pulses like Peas, grams, peanuts and soya beans form major part
of your regular food. Dark green leafy vegetables have protein, iron, and lot of vitamin A Take seasonal fruits like guava, papaya, orange, lemon, banana,
mango and tomato which are rich in minerals and proteins. Use jaggery which contains a lot of iron instead of sugar. Enjoy raw vegetables like carrots, cucumber, radish, tomatoes and
cabbage either in salad or simply raw.
Traditional Wrong or bad food habits
o We boil vegetables rice and other food stuffs in plenty of water and throw the water after boiling. It is a wrong practise and we lose vitamins.
o We overcook some food stuffs and lose vitamins
o We cook food by roasting, frying, deep trying and baking and destroy vitamins A, B, C and proteins by these methods.
o Some of us have wrong beliefs that curd, butter milk and fruit juices produce cold in our body and jaggery, papaya and mango produce heat in our body. These are not scientifically true
