[Hetvi gives Dhyey a plate that has ‘balanced diet’ written on it]

Hetvi: (Concerned) Dhyey, you need to eat your vegetables. They're essential for your health!

Dhyey: (Disgruntled) Mom, vegetables are boring! Can't I just have pizza instead?

Akshat: (Smiling) Dhyey, you need a healthy food diet to grow strong and healthy. You are a
growing boy.

Dhyey: Mom, dad, please stop. I don’t want your stupid vegetables. Just let me live in peace.

Moksha: But Dhyey was persistent in his quest to avoid anything green on his plate. Days
turned into weeks, and weeks into months.

[Time lapse: Dhyey eating fast food, candies, and avoiding nutritious meals.]

Moksha: As time passed, Dhyey's energy began to wane, and his once vibrant spirit started to
fade.

Moksha: One day, as Dhyey was walking to school, he suddenly collapsed.

[Dhyey walks to the middle of the class and suddenly falls]

Akshat: Hetvi, bring a doctor, fast, Dhyey has fainted.

Hetvi: Dr. Patel, what do you think happened?

Dr. Patel: (Examining Dhyey) It seems like Dhyey has developed anemia due to a lack of
essential nutrients. We need to run some tests to determine the extent of the deficiency.

Dr. Patel: (Looking at the test results) Dhyey, you have a severe deficiency of iron and other
important vitamins. It's crucial for you to adopt a balanced diet to recover.

[Dhyey looks confused.]

Dhyey: Wait, wait. What is a balanced diet?

Dr. Patel: (Stepping forward) A balanced diet includes a variety of foods that provide
essential nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals in the right
proportions.
Hetvi: Dhyey, it means eating a mix of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and
dairy products. These foods work together to keep our bodies healthy and functioning
properly.

Moksha: Determined to regain his health, Dhyey decides to embark on a journey to discover
the joy of a balanced diet.

[Hetvi gives Dhyey the plate and he eats the food]

Moksha: As Dhyey embraces a balanced diet, his energy returns, and he begins to feel
stronger and more vibrant.

Dhyey: Now, I have a newfound appreciation for the importance of a balanced diet.

Moksha: Remember, a balanced diet isn't just a prescription for good health; it's a recipe for a
happy and fulfilling life. So, let's all make healthy choices and savour the goodness of a well-
balanced life!

Akshat: It's not just about eating less or more but ensuring we get a mix of carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Each nutrient plays a specific role – carbs for energy,
proteins for muscle repair, fats for cell function. And vitamins and minerals are essential for
various bodily functions.

Dr. Patel: Right, and a balanced diet helps prevent nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to
various health issues. Plus, maintaining a healthy weight becomes easier with a balanced diet,
reducing the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart problems.

Everyone: Thank you!
