Learning to eat healthy will help maintain the right weight and fit body. Calories are the body's main energy source so understanding about calories and nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids help regulate various specific systems and keep the body's natural chemicals in balance. Calories and nutrients are both needed to be well balanced and remain healthy.

Having more calories in diets will result in weight gain, and less nutrients will cause our body to not function efficiently. Eating vegetables is the easiest way to keep fit and not gaining weight, also some fruits, whole grains, and lean meat are considered from the healthiest food full of nutrients. Exercising is another way of loosing extra calories and keeping our body firm and in shape.
