A healthy diet provides the body with essential nutrition: fluid, macronutrients.

What are the components of a balanced diet: 
Carbohydrates
Protein
Fat
Fiber
Vitamins
Minerals
Water

Here is why each are important: 

Carbohydrates: These are what is responsible for providing energy 

Protein: Plays a role in building up the body, essential for growth (Muscles, Amino Acids, etc)

Fats: Can act as a extra energy source. They are important for providing warmth for the body

Fibers: Improves overall digestion 

Vitamins and Minerals: Helps to keep the body working in proper condition

Water: Helps in the regulation of body temperature and also in maintaining the volume of blood in the body


A balanced diet would mean having all 7 of these in the right amounts regularly. This means not having too much of one and too little of another.
