Intake of appropriate types and adequate amounts of foods and drinks to supply nutrition and energy for maintenance of body cells, tissues, and organs, and to support normal growth and development.

A well-balanced diet acts to provide sources of energy and nutrition for optimal growth and development.

A balanced diet should include protein, complex carbohydrate while containing only moderate amounts of fats, and simple sugars. To achieve a balanced diet, you must consume a variety of foods from each of the food groups.

Six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water are recommended on a daily basis. Milk, juice, and soup can be substituted for water, but the best choice is water. Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages (due to their diuretic effect) would not be appropriate substitutes.

An unbalanced diet can cause problems with maintenance of body tissues, growth and development.

So, do take care of yourself.
