Because according to me balanced diet is the most important thing to maintain a good health.

balanced diet interpretation

Humans require various types of nutrients in order to keep them healthy and fit. These nutrients should be taken appropriately in diet.A balanced diet may be defined as the one which contains all essential nutrients in correct proportion for the normal growth of the and diet should be according to energy requirements. Common foods and the percentage of nutrients are given in the table below

Relation of balanced diet with age, gender and activity

During the growth period of the body, there is higher metabolic rate in the body cells and so body needs a balanced diet that contains more energy .Adults need less proteins per kilogram body weights , but a growing body or girl needs more proteins per kilogram weight .Similarly children need more calcium and iron for their bones and red blood cells respectively.Gender has an impact on the requirements of a balanced diet. Women have comparatively less metabolic rate than men of the same age and weight. so men need balanced diet that provides comparatively more energy.

Different people have different lifestyles and nature of work.A man with sedentary habits does not require as much energy as the man who is on his feet for most of the day.So above, this is an estimated energy requirements according to age ,gender and activity .
