“Woke up at 6 am and have to start working at 7 am… Just a cup of coffee and the day can start!
30 min lunch break…quickly eating a sandwich and going back to work. In the evening, too tired to cook a big food… a frozen pizza will be enough before sleeping!”
That is the reality of many people all over the world. Because of work, hustle, and laziness, we try to not give attention to what keeps us alive: food!
The reasons are various but the result is the same. We eat biased food and not at a regular time. Some people don’t have a proper or breakfast at all. Being in a hurry people eat their meal very fast without taking time for it. Another upcoming aspect is the fact that it became very common to eat fast food which includes less adequate nutrition.
Of course, not every person has an eating habit like this, but there are enough people who later face health difficulties or medical issues.
It is a problem in our society that can be addressed by making people aware, giving support and guidance to well-balanced and adequate nutrition.
Why do humans need a balanced diet?
The human body is an incredibly complex system. It needs the energy to make everything work. One type of energy (e.g. sugar) is not enough. The person has to have balanced nourishment to keep every “engine of the body” active and healthy.
Dr. Ryan Shelton Zenith Labs is an expert in the field of how important good nutrition for the human body is.
When the need for equilibrated constituents is not fulfilled we suffer in various ways.
One effect can be gaining a lot of weight that causes other diseases like diabetes etc.
Eating unhealthy food can cause numerous health problems and serious medical conditions.
Another aspect that many people mention is tiredness and powerlessness.
What does a balanced diet mean?
Our body needs a lot of different components to provide us energy, regulate chemical processes, for repair and growth.
Six major nutrients are fundamentally important: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. We can find them in different ingredients that we use for preparing a healthy and fresh meal.
Some of the most important vitamins are vitamin C (strengthens our immune system), Vitamin A (good for heart, kidney, and lungs), Vitamin D (strengthens bones and teeth). There are countless more – that can help our body to be strong and work at its optimum.
What are the benefits of nutritious food?
Eating healthy, with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and proteins allows our physical and mental condition to improve.
– Our immune system is stronger and can handle infections like a common cold easily.
– We feel more active
– We prevent various diseases

Overall, by having a balanced fresh diet, taking time to eat, and eating regularly our body and mind get strong and healthy. We have more energy to spend time with our loved ones, we can work more efficiently, reach our goals and fulfill our dreams.
