vegetables daily, minimize sugar and fatty desserts, consume less salt and salty foods, try smaller meals and snacks, drink
more water daily and minimize sugar sweetened beverages, limit alcoholic beverages, minimize your caffeine to 150-250 mg,
be physically active 3-5 times a week or more. Opting for a balanced, adequate and varied diet is an important step towards a
happy and healthy lifestyle. Vitamins and minerals in the diet are vital to boost immunity and healthy development. A healthy
diet can protect the human body against certain types of diseases, in particular non-communicable diseases such as obesity,
diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some types of cancer and skeletal conditions. Healthy diets can also contribute to an adequate

origins and with different ways to prepare food. The benefits of eating a wide variety of foods are also emotional, as variety and
colour are important ingredients of a balance diet.
