What we eat has a powerful effect on our general health and well being. we need balance diets, functional food etc, so as to grow and build immunity against diseases.
Functional foods must be beneficial to the body and must meet the target functions of the body, while Balanced diets should provide around 60-70% of total calories from carbohydrate, 10-12% from protein and 20-25% from fat.
