What I understand by balanced diet is that is a food that gives my body all the essential nutrients my body needs to function correctly. In other meaning, balanced diet includes the right proportions of; carbohydrates which are for energy, proteins which are for repair, and growth, fats for cell function and energy vitamins and minerals for organ function, bone health, and immunity, water for hydration and digestion, then fiber for digestion and preventing constipation.

Balanced diets are made up of 6 classes of foods that are essential for growth.
