INTRODUCTION
This project is based on balanced diet. This project will benefit a student in understanding the concept of a balanced diet. After completion of the project the student must be able to:
Explain why diet, especially energy intake, should be related to age, sex, and activity of an individual.
List the principal sources of, and describe the dietary importance of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins (C and D only), mineral salts (calcium and iron only), fiber (roughage) and water
Name the diseases and describe the symptoms resulting from deficiencies of vitamin C (scurvy), vitamin D (rickets), mineral salts calcium (rickets), iron (aneamia).
State the effects of malnutrition in relation to starvation, heart diseases, constipation and obesity.
