A balanced diet consists of food from five main groups: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and dairy products. Carbohydrates provide energy, proteins are found in meat, fish, eggs and beans and provide vital nutrients, and fats give our bodies energy and make other nutrients work but should be consumed in moderation. Vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables boost our immune system and help our bodies grow. Dairy products promote bone and teeth health by providing calcium and other important nutrients. Maintaining a balanced diet from these five groups along with regular exercise and a positive attitude supports overall health.
