How to Have a Balanced Diet?

One can always adopt a healthy lifestyle by starting to consume a


balanced diet. Firstly, one must definitely increase the amount of liquid
to consume in a day. Fluids are very important for the human body to
function healthily. As almost 80% of our body is filled with water, we
need it for good metabolism. Thus, start with drinking at least two to
three liters of water every day. Moreover, try cutting down on the
consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol, and other such addictive liquids.

Furthermore, one must always eat fresh vegetables and fruits. As fresh
fruits and vegetables are great sources of fiber and vitamins, we must
consume them for good body growth. Try to avoid eating deep-fried or
overcooked food as it loses all its nutrients. The balanced diet must have
the five essential elements, i.e. bitter, sour, sweet, pungent and salty.
Also, the emphasis is on fresh fruits because the processed or packed
ones do not have nutrients.

Most importantly, always chew your food patiently. Do not just


swallow it after chewing for four-five times. This way your food won’t
get digested properly. Savor the food slowly and steadily. Next, do not
eat in excess. You must know when to draw the line and stop when you
don’t have the appetite. Therefore, we see how a balanced diet will keep
you healthy and fit. It will improve the quality of your life and keep all
the illnesses away.
