A diet refers to the total variety of foods and beverages consumed by an individual and encompasses all eating patterns, from the types of foods eaten to their nutritional quality and quantity. Diets are influenced by cultural, social, economic, and personal factors and can significantly impact health. Healthy diets are often balanced, incorporating a diversity of food items including vegetables, fruits, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, tailored to the dietary needs of an individual. Poor dietary choices, such as high intakes of processed foods, excessive sugars, and saturated fats, are linked to various health issues, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other chronic conditions. In contrast, diets rich in whole foods and balanced in essential nutrients contribute to overall well-being and the prevention of diseases. Nutrition science provides guidelines and recommendations to help individuals make choices that promote long-term health and manage dietary-related health conditions effectively.
