It is important to eat healthy foods as it helps the body to be in good and perfect shape, and it slows the rate of aging process.

Healthy eating is a process of eating all of the classes of food in one meal at a given right proportion and amount.

When eating healthily, an individual should eat at a given time and also make sure that they maintain that time everyday to aid in the normal physiology of the body.

Healthy eating has it's own importance, and it is very important to eat healthily because of the following.

• eating good food and exercising adequately helps in the normal functioning of the body, thus reducing the rate of aging.

• healthy foods also helps to repair worn out tissues, help in growth, and also help in the normal physiology of he body

• healthy eating reduces the risk of infection by building the white blood cells.

• healthy eating helps in clear eye sight (vit A), red blood cells production (folic acid) and lots more

Majorly, as a student, what I can afford to buy is carbohydrates e.g rice, garri e.t.c. however, with my little knowledge of nutrition, I make sure to balance my diet by including different nutritional food to my diet. For example, j can decide to cook rice, in that rice I will add crayfish and fish which has iodine(mineral) and protein respectively, I will also add Vegetable oil or palm oil which is a replacement for lipids, and palm oil is rich in vitamin A, I will also add some vegetables that are rich in other vitamins, table salt and water. These are the little ways I use in other to balance my meal in school. In my daily menu, I consume carbohydrates more but as said above, I try my best to balance it with other nutritional regimens. For a day, it is important that an individual eats all of the six classes of food in a very good amount. However, making a nutritional menu for 24 hours, I will do it like this.

TIME	FOOD
Breakfast	Beans and pap with fruits like orange, or fries with ketchup
Mid-morning	juice of any type
Lunch	boiled, fried plantain and vegetable sauce
Mid-afternoon	snacks like yoghurt and buns Or meat balls and orange juice
Dinner	jollof Rice and beans or eba and egusi soup with orange juice
30 minutes before bed time	a glass of ginger and garlic tea or fruits like avocado

This is the food menu. For any body that wants a good nutrition.
It is important to note that there are different types of meal planning and this one is just for a person who wants to be healthy.

However, to be more healthy, it is adviceable go do moderate exercise.

That'll be all for this post, I hope you enjoyed reading through
