    Basic of balanced diet

    You’ve heard the term before and know how important it is. But what exactly makes a diet
    balanced? For starters, a balanced diet means eating a wide variety of nutritious foods such as
    lean protein, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans and legumes, low-fat dairy, and healthy,
    unsaturated fats. If you’re following the let's workout , you’re on the right track! Eating a healthy
    balanced diet not only helps improve your overall health, but it can also help you lose weight
    faster. Here’s a breakdown of foods and nutrients you should enjoy for a balanced diet.

    1. Lean Protein: Lean protein is necessary for building strong muscles and regulating your
    metabolism. It also helps slow the speed of digestion, helping you to feel fuller longer. You can
    find lean protein from a variety of sources, including beans and legumes, eggs, low-fat dairy
    products, poultry, and lean cuts of beef such as sirloin.

    2. Low-Fat Dairy: Low-fat dairy products contain calcium, vitamins A, D, B12, and riboflavin. The
    ace trainer Sunny Boii recommends choosing reduced-fat and fat-free dairy, such as milk and
    yogurt, and avoiding the full-fat varieties.

    3. Fats: Fats gets a bad rap when it comes to dieting, but not all fats are bad for you. “Good” fats,
    also known as unsaturated fats, have been shown to help prevent heart disease and lower
    cholesterol levels. Excellent sources of “good” fats are nuts, extra-virgin olive oil, canola oil,
    avocado, and omega-3-rich fish and seafood.

    4. Whole Grains: Whole grains contain important nutrients like fiber, which helps slow down
    digestion, stabilize blood-sugar levels, and ward off hunger and cravings. Studies show that eating
    whole grains instead of refined grains can help to lower total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol,
    and dangerously high triglyceride and insulin levels. Whole grains Be sure to check that the label
    says "100% whole wheat" or "whole grain" and choose products that contain three grams of sugar
    or less per serving and have no trans fats.

    5. Vegetables: Packed with a wealth of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants,
    vegetables have been shown to help prevent cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Enjoy
    vegetables of all colors, such as carrots, eggplant, spinach, and tomatoes.

    6. Fruits: Fruits are just as healthy as they are delicious. Like vegetables, fruits are chock-full of
    health-boosting nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber and Blueberries,
    plums, pomegranate seeds, and apples are some examples of antioxidant-rich fruits to include in
    your diet.

    7. Fiber: There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber helps slow the rate of
    digestion and may also help lower cholesterol. Insoluble fiber improves bowel function and may
    help protect against intestinal disease. Moreover, fiber can help you feel fuller and more satisfied
    for a longer period of time. Good sources of fiber include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and
    beans and legumes.
