Individual characteristics, cultural background, regionally available foods, and food requirements will all influence the composition of a diverse, balanced, and healthy diet. Read on to know more.

It's important to eat a good amount of food in order to maintain a healthy diet. A healthy diet is consumed throughout a person's life and aids in the prevention of a variety of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), illnesses, and malnutrition in all of its manifestations. However, eating patterns have shifted as a result of increased processed food manufacturing, increased urbanisation, and changing lifestyles.

Nowadays, many people eat insufficient amounts of fruits, vegetables, and other dietary fiber-rich foods like whole grains, and consumers eat more meals that are heavy in calories, fats, free sugars, sodium, and sodium.

Nutritionist Payal Rangar, Wellness & Health Coach, stated in an interview with ABP Live, "It may be difficult to determine which foods to consume more of. Make sure your diet contains a variety of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, fibre, and fat." She went on to identify five nutritious things to incorporate into your regular diet:

Green Veggies:

The benefits of leafy greens to our health are well known. They are a great source of many minerals, fibre, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, folate, and vitamin C. Spinach, kale, broccoli, fenugreek, and other leafy vegetables are examples of those we should include more in our diet. You can sauté them with a little oil or add them to salads. 

It makes sense why our parents kept urging us to eat more "greens."

Walnuts:

Walnuts are also included in the list of superfoods because they have a high content of omega-3 fatty acids and anti-inflammatory qualities. Although some may claim they are excessive in calories and fat, the monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat they contain is actually beneficial to our health.

Avocados:

Avocados are an amazing source of fiber. Fiber helps to keep our gut healthy. It improves cholesterol and blood pressure, and the health of the heart, intestines, brain, hair, and skin. 

Chia Seeds:

Chia seeds are the highest nutrient-dense food. It is a good source of iron, calcium, and B vitamins, and also improves cholesterol levels. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. They are lowering blood pressure and controlling and preventing cardiac problems. Also lessens the amount of fat in your liver, enhances the health of your joints and bones, and promotes sleep quality.
