IMPORTANCE?
WHAT IS BALANCED 
A balanced diet,D asI tEheT te?rm , defines it very 
well; balanced means to have a regulated 
amount, and diet means food. Thus 
collectively balanced diet is a diet that has 
a regulated amount of food components 
essential for a body to survive healthily. A 
balanced diet contains all the important 
basic components and in the right 
proportion, such as protein, carbohydrates, 
vitamins, minerals, fibers, fats, calories, 
etc., which helps to improve and maintain 
the overall body health properly. All the 
nutrients are important in the human body 
but in the right amount; otherwise, you can 
catch several health issues regarding your 
diet.
According to boarding schools in 
dehradun, the perfectives of balanced 
diet amount of good nutrients and a little 
physical exercise (or activity) can be your 
secret for perfect body shape and body 
health. This helps you in maintaining 
distance from chronic diseases such as 
heart diseases, blood pressure, obesity, 
etc., and promotes good health. Being 
healthy is not just about having a well-
regulated body mass index (BMI) instead, 
it covers the proper functioning of all the 
body organs and parts inwardly and 
outwardly. There are certain body organs 
that require particular nutrients to work 
systematically and help in body 
enhancement. A balanced diet also not 
promote the intake of artificial nutrients 
to supply energy to the body. It is a 
culture of healthy and fresh eating.
THE MAJOR BASIC 
COMPONENTS OF A 
CARBOHYDRATBEAS:LANCED DIET ARE:
the daily carbs consumption should be 45-55 percent in our diet. These 
carbohydrates are essential to provide energy to the body to vigorously work the 
whole day. They keep the body fresh and active the whole day. We can find 
carbohydrates in grains (such as maize, wheat, corn, millet, oats, rice, etc.), flour, 
potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam, sugar, fruits (in the form of sugar).
PROTEIN:
The intake of proteins should be within 10-35 percentages. The extended intake 
can be harmful in the future as consuming a large amount can cause an increment 
in the level of certain acids (as uric acid). It helps hi the development of the body 
tissues, body growth, and the maintenance of the body. Fish and pulses are the 
best sources of protein. It can also be found in meat, egg, soy, beans, nuts, etc.
FATS:
Fats are known to be the energy suppliers of the body. Also body stores energy for the future in 
the form of oils and fats. The intake percentages of the fats are 20-35% and not more than that. 
CBSE Schools of Dehradun teaches that The accumulation of extra body fat is harmful to the body 
in the long term as it can cause obesity and other dysfunction in the internal organs of the body. 
They are also helpful in hormone production within the body. The sources of fats are vegetable 
oils, animal oils, nuts, seeds, dairy products, etc.
VITAMINS AND 
MINERALS They cover a lot of needs of the body 
under them. They are responsible for the 
regulation of the body’s metabolism, cell 
growth, healing (aiding cells), and 
multiple other biochemical functions of 
the body. There are different vitamins 
(vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin 
D, and vitamin K), and deficiency of one 
vitamin can cause several diseases. 
Minerals such as zinc, iron, calcium, etc., 
help in building the damages and 
forming new cells. A range of fruits and 
vegetables, nuts, seeds, meat, etc., are 
sources to it.
WATER AND 
FIBERS:
 A human body is 80% water, and only 20% of the water intake is from food. Thus we need 
to drink as much water as possible. It keeps the body hydrated and increases the 
metabolism of the body; it helps in the functioning of the body and also releases excessive 
fat. The urinary gland throws out the body wastes using urine which is in liquid form that is 
water-based, so it helps in keeping the body clean. Talking about fibers, they help to 
maintain blood sugar levels, easy excretion, and other body functions. Fibers are found in 
fibrous fruits and vegetables, whole grains, oats, etc.
