Healthy Eating Habits
A balanced diet includes foods from all food groups in the right proportions. It provides all the essential nutrients our body needs for proper growth and functioning.
Eating meals at regular intervals helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, improves digestion, and provides consistent energy throughout the day. Recommended gaps between meals are 4-5 hours.
Healthy foods are nutrient-dense and provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Unhealthy foods are often high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats with little nutritional value.
