Abstract

Balanced nutrition is a key factor in maintaining health and preventing various nutrition-related diseases. An imbalance between nutrient intake and requirements can lead to malnutrition, either in the form of undernutrition or overnutrition. This condition contributes to an increased risk of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Good nutritional knowledge plays a crucial role in shaping healthy eating patterns and maintaining optimal nutritional status. Additionally, various factors such as dietary reference intake, nutrient absorption physiology, and intake control also influence an individual's nutritional balance. Physical activity also plays an important role in maintaining energy balance and body weight, thereby helping to prevent malnutrition and health disorders.This article reviews various aspects of balanced nutrition, including fundamental concepts, factors influencing nutritional status, health risks associated with nutritional imbalances, and the role of physical activity in maintaining nutritional balance. A deeper understanding of these aspects is expected to raise awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition in daily life.
