Meet Balanced Nutrition with the Dinner Plate Guide

Balanced nutrition is one of the important factors that play a role in supporting one's health. Just
to fulfill hunger, is not enough. When eating food, balanced nutrition must be considered. Now,
there is an easier way to do it. To get balanced nutrition, consumption from various different food
groups is needed. The food ideally consists of various types of nutrients, including protein,
carbohydrates, fats, fiber, minerals, and vitamins.

How to apply . Generally, eating patterns of balanced nutrition are described as pyramids.
However, now a dinner plate guide can be used to fulfill balanced nutrition. Here's the
explanation:

 ½ of a dinner plate, consisting of vegetables and fruits of various types and colors.
 ¼ from the dinner plate, filled with protein. You can choose fish, chicken or beans. Limit
consumption of red meat or processed meat, such as sausages.
 ¼ from the dinner plate filled with carbohydrates from whole grains, brown rice, whole
wheat, or pasta. Sugar content from bread or white rice is high. Therefore, be careful if you
have a problem with blood sugar.
 Complete with a few healthy oils, such as olive oil, soybean oil, corn oil, and canola oil.
Avoid oils that contain saturated fat or high cholesterol.
 Consume enough water, but limit milk and derivative products. Consumption of milk should
only take 1-2 cups per day, juice about one glass per day, and avoid drinks with high sugar
content.
 Valid for Everyone
 Try to consume at least three food groups. Then, the consumption of food groups that have
not been fulfilled at the next meal time.
 If you eat foods that have been mixed, such as spaghetti, which is equipped with meatballs
and vegetables, that does not mean you cannot meet the dinner plate guide. Make sure more
portions of vegetables and fruit than protein and pasta are served. Also limit the use of sauces
containing high fat and salt.
 Guide to eating dishes to fulfill balanced nutrition can be applied to everyone, whether they
have ideal body weight, or those who are overweight.
 However, this guide may not be suitable for children under two years of age, because their
nutritional needs are different. Likewise for people who need to undergo a special diet
because they have certain medical conditions. Consult with your doctor or nutritionist before
applying this diet.
Active Lifestyle Supported

 A healthy lifestyle is not only limited to balanced nutrition. Every food and drink
contains calories, which are used as energy when on the move. Therefore, it is important
to have an active lifestyle and exercise regularly, so that calories can be burned and not
just piled up
 When the body is inactive and calorie consumption exceeds the amount needed by the
body, calories will be stored as fat. This is what can then make the weight gain.
 In addition to avoiding weight gain, exercise and activities can also maintain health,
while reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. It is recommended to move
and exercise with a moderate intensity of about 30 minutes per day.
 Apply a balanced nutrition diet with a dinner plate guide, equipped with an active
lifestyle. Consult with a nutritionist if you have a diet or special health condition, before
applying it.
