Description:

Balanced nutrition is achieved by consuming a variety of foods that provide essential nutrients in appropriate proportions to support overall health and well-being. This includes: A sufficient intake of carbohydrates, which serve as the body's primary energy source. Complex carbohydrates from whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, along with simple carbohydrates found in fruits and sugars, contribute to stable blood sugar levels and digestive health. Proteins are essential for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. They are found in lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, beans, nuts, and seeds. Healthy fats, such as those in avocados, nuts, seeds, and oily fish like salmon, provide essential fatty acids crucial for brain function, hormone production, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Vitamins and minerals play critical roles in various bodily functions, including immune support, bone health, and energy metabolism. They are abundant in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and lean proteins. Water is indispensable for regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and transporting nutrients and waste products. Adequate hydration is vital for overall health. Achieving balanced nutrition involves selecting a diverse range of foods from these groups to ensure a broad spectrum of nutrients. It also requires practicing portion control and moderation with foods high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and sodium. This balanced approach supports overall health and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. For personalized dietary guidance, consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist is recommended. Duration - 15h 33m. Author - Maria Garrets. Narrator - Melanie Griffin.
