It is an eating plan that provides our body with important nutrients , vitamins and minerals to maintain good health. It mostly includes a variety of foods from different groups like fruits , vegetables , whole grains , lean proteins and healthy fats. Guys, The aim of a balanced diet is to provide energy.

Any diet suggestion on your experience that makes you healthy.

On the basis of my experience, my diet suggestions that can make us healthy. We should eat a simple and natural diet. This can help us to stay healthy. Friends, We should eat more fresh and seasonal fruits, vegetables and whole grains like brown rice. We also drink enough water every day at least 8 glasses. We avoid too much sugary, oily food and soft drinks. Eating on time is also very important. We try to have breakfast every morning because it gives us energy and makes our day good. Home cooked foods are better than fast food. Sometimes, we add dry fruits like almonds for more strength. This kind of diet keeps us active, fresh and happy. It also helps in keeping the body strong and the mind sharp.
