    A balanced diet contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. Consuming only cereal and starchy tubers would not provide a healthy life as it lacks proteins, vitamins and minerals. Consuming only fruits and vegetables also would not be balanced as it lacks proteins, fats and other nutrients. Proteins are obtained through foods like meat, eggs, dairy and legumes with animal sources being more complete. Older individuals should consume dairy daily for calcium and protein. Dietary fiber helps lower cholesterol by binding it and removing it from the body. Processing rice reduces its nutrient content through loss of vitamins, minerals and fiber.
