A balanced diet is one made up of foods that provide an adequate amount of each and every one of the nutrients we need for optimal health. The diet must be varied eating mostly fresh and seasonal products. Without realizing it we have been moving away from good eating habits with a resulting detriment to our health.
A balanced diet is dependent on a number of personal factors such as sex, height, weight, age, activity we do, climate and the environment in which we live.
Due to the many personal factors that depends, balanced diet varies greatly from one individual to another and therefore speaks of quantities or RDA s (CDR or IDR).
Feed must meet the following objectives:
Provide an amount of energy nutrients (calories) that is sufficient to carry out metabolic processes and physical work necessary. Neither more nor less.
Provide enough nutrients plastic and regulatory functions (proteins, minerals and vitamins). Without fail, but neither leftover.
The quantities of each of the nutrients are balanced with each other. That is:
Protein should be a 15% of total caloric intake.
Carbohydrates provide us at least 55-60% of total caloric intake.
Lipids not exceed 30% of total calories ingested.
