Health: Nutrition. 18 June 2014Last updated at 16:26 The human body needs a balanced diet to deliver vital nutrients What's your idea of a perfect meal? Sushi? A large piece of cake followed by hot chocolate? Even if it satisfies your appetite, it's unlikely to fulfil all your nutritional needs. Cutting through the myriad of diet plans and faddish eating regimes, the human body needs a balanced, healthy eating plan to keep functioning properly. This helps ensure that our bodies have enough nutrition to: Grow and build Repair and heal Reproduce successfully Repel illnesses and infections Avoid weight-related health problems Eating a variety of foods can also reduce the risk of getting conditions including heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes and osteoporosis. The foods we need to eat can be divided into five separate groups. The reason we need a diet drawn from all of the groups is that they all deliver different, but vital, nutritional benefits to our bodies.
