27 WHAT MAKES A HEALTHY CLEAN FIT DIET
A healthy diet should consist of a wide variety of foods. This way you ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs. Many fad diets restrict us from eating certain food groups, but the fact is that eating a healthy well-balanced diet can be easy and tasty.
YOUR BODY NEEDS ALL THESE COMPONENTS OF NUTRITION:
Carbohydrates: So many people think these are bad and cut them out of their diet, but we need these daily to give us energy.
Protein: This is needed to help the body repair itself and build tissue.
Fats: (Yes, again, these are good, as long as it is good fat.) These help supply longterm energy so that the body is fully charged.
Fiber: It is essential to help maintain good digestive health.
Minerals: These are needed to help control metabolism and cellular activity.
Vitamins: These simply help make the body work properly.
