Do you know that nutrition, exercise, relaxation, and quality sleep form the four pillars of healthy living? To remain healthy, it is essential to have a balanced diet. A balanced diet gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly. When your body does not get sufficient nutrients, it is prone to disease, infection, fatigue, and low performance. Apart from following a balanced and nutritious diet, you must exercise, learn to relax and get sound sleep to keep yourself healthy. Though you eat food every day, are you sure you eat a balanced and nutritious diet? How do you ensure the right quantity of nutrients in your food? The macro-nutrients provide energy and support the different metabolic systems, growth, and development of the body. Macro-nutrients include fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. The calorie requirement for a day is met by 7–17% of carbohydrates, 10-15% of protein, and 20–50% of fat included in your diet. Micro-nutrients include calcium, iron, vitamins, minerals, and vitamin C. Your nutrition requirements depend on your age, gender, health condition, and physical activity level. Your diet becomes balanced only when you drink sufficient water to keep yourself hydrated.
