What is a Healthy Diet Plan?

A Diet is a regulated combination of foods designed for medical or nutritional reasons. A healthy diet plan should include a balanced selection of foods vital for good health, taking into account the individual's specific dietary needs.



  1. A healthy diet plan should contain all the essential nutrients, like protein, carbohydrates, fibers, minerals, vitamins, etc. If you follow a diet, you should look into the diet nutrition, i.e. look whether the diet recommended food plans provide nutrition.
  2. Healthy Diets do not require fat products more than a minimum requirement. Fats are stored in the body for later use when carbohydrates are in short supply.
  3. A healthy diet plan should include a wide variety of foods such as breads and cereals, legumes, tubers or starchy roots, vegetables and fruits, meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, good fats and oils.
  4. A weight loss diet is not good without an exercise program. Diet and exercise should go togather.
  5. A special diet is prescribed for each individual depending on his (or her) medical condition like obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or sensitivity to certain foods.
    In special conditions like a pregnant woment or an infant or a senior person, the requirement are different. Therefore the same diet is not good for all.
