Human Diet

A human diet consists of the foods and drinks we consume daily to meet our body’s energy, growth, and health needs. It includes a balance of macronutrients—carbohydrates for energy, proteins for repair and growth, and fats for long-term energy and cell function. Additionally, various vitamins and minerals support essential bodily processes. A healthy diet emphasizes variety, moderation, and nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Proper nutrition helps maintain overall health, supports immune function, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
