Our body also desires to gain lots of nutrients in order to work properly and for long life. Balanced diet gives our body all those compulsory nutrients that it needs. To have a healthy body its very necessary that you should have a balanced diet which comprises of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, lean proteins, but all this is not possible for a person to eat it on daily basis, it requires a lot of time, and money.
