A well-balanced diet is fundamental to maintaining optimal health and preventing disease. It’s important to include at least 50 essential nutrients in your diet. These nutrients can be categorized into several groups:
- Sources of Energy:
- Carbohydrates: These are the body’s primary energy source. They are found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is used for energy or stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles for later use.
- Fats: Essential for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), fats provide a concentrated energy source. They are also crucial for cell structure and function. Healthy fat sources include avocados, nuts, seeds, and oily fish.
- Proteins: These are vital for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues. Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are the building blocks of body tissues. Good sources include meat, dairy products, legumes, and soy products.
