A Well Balanced Diet

A well balanced diet would lead to well rounded nutrition intake for the body. It is known that sufficient nutrition can help body to work more efficiently and build a strong immune system. Thus it is crucial to know what you should eat to gather the nutrition that your body need to maintain the healthy level.

Thanks to The New Zealand Nutrition Foundation for providing a chart to the right. It shows what and how much we should eat to be healthy. Majority of our daily diet should include mostly fruits, vegetables, and grains. We should only eat moderate amount of meat, milk, cheese, nuts...etc. People who are unhealthy or overweight should consider cutting down the consumption of sugar, butter, margarine, and oil from their daily diet.

Thus, we should keep the food pyramid in our mind at all time to remind us what we should consume to maintain a healthy diet.
