Suggest The Best Diet For An Individual To Stay Healthy
What s the best diet for a human being? A documentary I watched made the case that it s mostly plant based nutrition. The goal being appropriate protein levels and starch levels based on activity levels and the rest is vegetables, fruits or nuts. The starch and protein are preferably plant based but don t always have to be. Is this the best diet or is there something else?

Hello,
The best diet consists of a balanced diet consisting of all nutrients in required amounts.
Carbohydrates (starch) and proteins are major food items required in the diet. In addition, fats and micro-nutrients are also required.
An adequate quantity of water is essential. For detailed information on types of food with the mentioned nutrients, you may consult a dietician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
