Unit 42: WHAT DO YOU EAT? ASSIGNMENT 3

WHAT DO YOU EAT?

How to keep a balanced diet...

These food groups make up a balanced diet because we as humans we all need a healthy diet as this would provide us with the right amount of energy as the calories or kilojoules, from foods and drinks help to maintain energy balance. 

An energy balance is made in which where the calories taken in from the diet are equal to the calories used by the body. We definitely need energy to carry out everyday, daily tasks such as walking and moving about but also for all the functions of the body we may not even think about. Processes like breathing, pumping blood around the body and thinking also require energy.

As a dancer having a balanced diet is very essential as 'carbohydrates' gives out 60% of energy which also helps provide quick energy and as a performer to gain this we would require to eat pasta, cereals and potatoes.

As an injured performer that I was before I had to focus my diet mainly upon 'proteins' such as eating fish, legumes
, eggs and drinking milk. As this was the only way for me to gain a rather rapid recovery. I got told by my physiotherapy that eating proteins helps a speedy recovery after doing exercises;
