Diet

Dietary habits are the habitual decisions an individual or culture makes when choosing what foods to eat. The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons (with the two often being related).

Although humans are omnivores, each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos. This may be due to personal tastes or ethical reasons.

Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy. Complete nutrition requires ingestion and absorption of vitamins, minerals, and food energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Dietary habits and choices play a significant role in the quality of life, health and longevity.

Healthiest diet adheres to some sensible and straightforward guidelines: Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and eat less meat. These recipes will help you happily comply through breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On any given day, choose any of these dishes, making sure to eat a variety of ingredients and strike a balance between heavier and lighter.
