Good health is not just the absence of disease or illness, it is a

state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.

This means eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise,

avoiding tobacco and getting plenty of rest.

Our bodies are like machines that require a balance of protein,

carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and water to stay in good
working order.

Get the balance wrong and your health will suffer.

A balanced diet means eating only as many calories as you use

during the day.

Any excess will be stored as fat if you eat more than you burn
off.
