Balanced Diet for a Healthy Family
To address this issue, a balanced diet is key. A family's diet should include:
Complex Carbohydrates
Choose carbohydrate sources such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, or whole grains that are rich in fiber to provide long-lasting energy.Quality Protein
Provide animal protein such as fish, lean meat, and eggs, as well as plant protein such as tofu, tempeh, and nuts. Protein is necessary for the growth of body cells and tissues.
Healthy Fats: Use olive oil, virgin coconut oil, or avocado as a source of healthy fats. These fats are essential for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
Fruits and Vegetables: Consume at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support the immune system and prevent disease.
Adequate Fluids: Ensure everyone in the family drinks enough water, about 2 liters per day for adults and as needed for children.
