A balanced diet is important for many reasons, not least to ensure you have enough energy to keep active throughout the day and maintain a healthy weight. Ensuring you have the relevant nutrients in your diet for growth and repair will also help you to stay well and prevent diseases. I have listed below 10 reasons that you could find interesting and will probably give you a quick overview of how easy is to get a balanced diet.
1. Give colour to your plate (notice if there is enough red, yellow, green, white, orange and so on)
2. Not necessarily all your meals should be colourful
3. Balance fatty meals with low calories meals
4. Every 2/3 months try to eat less on a single day. Set a low-calorie-challenge-day on your calendar (this is really good for detoxing our body)
5. You just feel good if you pay attention to what you eat
6. The market for healthy food is becoming cheaper because of increasing demand
7. Fruit and Vegetables are easily accessible (loads can be eaten raw)
8. Healthy doesn't mean go Vegan or Vegetarian or following difficult diet
9. Meat is good for our body in the right amount (check most famous food and health organisation websites to find out how much you need based on your lifestyle)
10. Allow your body to have "junk" food every now and again, eat chocolate, and be happy!
