Diet & Nutrition

A “diet” refers to the food and drink consumed by an individual, often with specific goals or health considerations in mind. It can mean one’s regular eating habits or a planned regimen to achieve a goal, such as weight loss, muscle gain, or health improvement. Diets vary widely and can be influenced by cultural, personal, or health factors, including vegetarianism, veganism, low-carb, and Mediterranean diets, among others. Additionally, “dieting” implies a temporary adjustment to eating patterns for specific purposes. A balanced diet typically includes nutrients essential for maintaining good health, like proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
