A balanced diet simply means a bit of everything, including meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. A balanced diet must contain carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, mineral salts and fibre. It must contain these things in the correct proportions.

carbohydrates: these provide a source of energy. proteins: these provide a source of materials for growth and repair. fats: these provide a source of energy and contain fat soluble vitamins. vitamins: these are required in very small quantities to keep you healthy. mineral salts: these are required for healthy teeth, bones, muscles etc.. fibre: this is required to help your intestines function correctly; it is not digested.

Junk food is an informal term applied to some foods which are perceived to have little or no nutritional value, or to products with nutritional value but which also have ingredients considered unhealthy when regularly eaten, or to those considered unhealthy to consume at all.
