Dr.Rajinder Manchanda said, the general public is being made aware about the importance of a balanced diet. He said, the diet consumed by any person has a direct relationship with his health and balanced diet is only basis of our health.

The food should contain appropriate amount of carbohydrates , proteins , fats, minerals and vitamins according to age and sex. The gap between one meal and another must be at least four hours so that the food already taken is fully digested in the body.
