Answers
Balanced diet: A diet containing proportionate amounts of those food groups which are considered to be optimal for good health. A properly balanced diet should: be highest in fruits and vegetables; have a moderate amount of refined carbohydrates (e.g., breads and cereals), fish and dairy products; lesser amounts of meat; and minimal amounts of fats (e.g., butter) and refined sugars.
Deficiency disease: Diseases that occur due to lack of nutrients over a long period are called deficiency diseases or nutritional disease. Deficiency of one or more nutrients can cause diseases or disorders in our body. For example, wheat is rich in carbohydrates, but poor in nutrients like proteins and fats. Too much intake of wheat products results in a deficiency of proteins and fats, which reduces growth. Lack of proteins also results in stunted growth, skin diseases, swelling of the face and discolouration of the hair, and even causes diarrhoea.
Nutrients: Nutrients are molecules in food that all organisms need to make energy, grow, develop, and reproduce. Nutrients are digested and then broken down into basic parts to be used by the organism. There are two main types of nutrients, macronutrients and micronutrients. The three main categories of macronutrients include carbohydrate, protein, and fat. The two types of micronutrients are vitamins and minerals, and these are extra molecules that cells need to make energy. Let's take a look at the three groups of macronutrients we mentioned.
