Maintaining a healthy diet is the
practice of making choices about what to
eat with the intent of improving or maintaining good health.
Usually this involves consuming necessary nutrients by eating the
appropriate amounts from all of the food groups. Since human nutrition is
complex a healthy diet may vary widely subject to an individual's genetic
makeup, environment, and health.
Achieving a healthy diet is popularly misperceived as being attainable
by eating 'healthy foods'. Many people[attribution needed] falsely believe
that there are 'good' and 'bad' foods; they develop bad diets because they
think that abundant eating of foods they consider 'healthy' will create a
healthy diet. However, this is far from the truth.
The consumption of nothing but substances that are deemed healthy, such as
an "all-grain diet" or a diet consisting only of pasta or other
health-foods, would most likely result in deficiencies because important
nutrients (like protein-based foods) would be missed. Foods such as
grains, fish, corn, etc. are healthy when consumed with a balanced diet,
because in combination they supply us with all of the required nutrients.
The most important aspect of any diet is maintaining a healthy intake and
balance of foods.
The balance of micronutrients gained from meat, vegetables, and other
foods is what makes diets healthy, not only consuming 'healthy' foods. For
instance, milk, cheese, and other dairy products are known to have a
relatively high fat content. Removing such dairy products from a diet may
lower fat ingestion, but it will also negatively affect the intake of
calcium and riboflavin that such foods offer.
