The meal that includes all ............... is a balanced diet.

A balanced diet is one that gives our body the nutrition it needs to function properly. In order to get truly balanced nutrition, we should obtain the majority of our daily calories from fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. A balanced diet is important because body's organs and tissues need proper nutrition to work effectively. Without good nutrition, the body is more prone to disease, infection, fatigue and poor performance.
