Benefits of Nutrition

A healthy diet consists of a variety of nutrient-packed foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and lean protein sources. These healthful foods provide the carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and fiber needed for a healthy mind and body.
A healthy diet includes the essential nutrients that help to reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), and diabetes.   Yet a healthy diet does not provide too many calories, so you can control your weight and avoid obesity and its related health problems.
