Balanced Diet
WHAT IS A
BALANCED DIET ?
• For being healthy & strong , you must
eat the right amount of food
containing the right amount of each
component . Such food is called
balanced food . A meal in which you
eat balanced food is called a balanced
meal . A group of balanced meals
taken during the day is called a
balanced diet .
THE MAIN COMPONENTS
OF FOOD
• CARBOHYDRATES & FATS
• PROTIENS
• VITAMINS & MINERALS
• WATER
CARBOHYDRATES & FATS
• Carbohydrates:
The substance that is used as the
chief energy food is
carbohydrates. Rice, Wheat and
bread are rich in Carbohydrates.
• Fats:
Fats are high energy source
substances and contain less
oxygen in them . When they are
oxidized they produce more
energy. Oil, Ghee, Milk , Butter ,
Cheese etc., are rich in Fats.
PROTEINS
• Proteins help in digestion and
in building body materials.
Some proteins help in
repairing damaged parts
replacing worn our or dead
cells and tissues.
• Proteins are generally
polymers in nature. Enzymes
belong to the class of proteins.
Meat,fish, eggs, milk and all
pulses are rich in proteins.
VITAMINS & MINERALS
• Vitamins help enzymes to do their
jobs and hence called co-enzymes.
Vitamins help in keeping our eyes,
teeth & gums and bones healthy.
• Minerals help in the formation of
blood, bones and teeth. They
usually contain elements like
phosphorous, sulphur, nitrogen
etc., and metals like sodium,iron,
potassium,etc.,.Fruits, Vegetables
Milk, etc are rich contents of
Vitamins and Minerals.
WATER
• Water:
Water is the essence of life.
It is needed in the digestion
of food, to get rid of waste
material, and for many other
purposes.
Water is essential for body
reactions and 60 to 70% of
the body weight is simply
because of water it has.
