Eating means ensuring that our body has the requisite energy and nutrients needed for life.
Fundamental to proper nutrition is the concept of balance, which is achieved solely by our varying the foods in our diet as much as possible, without privation or excess.
In this way, in fact, it is more likely that we will eat the proper quantities of all the nutrients that our bodies need.
“BALANCE” THEREFORE, MEANS VARYING INGREDIENTS, COMBINING THEM CORRECTLY, COOKING IN A HEALTHY WAY, AND EATING PROPER PORTIONS.
