Healthy Diet Plan

A healthy diet is defined as one which contains the various groups of foodstuffs such as energy-yielding foods, body-building foods, and protective foods in the correct proportions so that the individual is assured of obtaining the minimum requirements of all the nutrients. The components of a healthy diet will differ according to age, sex, physical activity, economic status, and physiological state, viz. pregnancy, lactation, and different age groups.
 

Consuming a healthy diet throughout the life-course helps to prevent malnutrition in all its forms as well as a range of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and conditions. However, increased production of processed foods, rapid urbanization, and changing lifestyles have led to a shift in dietary patterns. People are now consuming more foods high in energy, fats, free sugars, and salt/sodium, and many people do not eat enough fruit, vegetables, and other dietary fiber such as whole grains.[1]
