What are the components of a balanced diet (include vitamin A,C and iron)?

As a holistic nutritionist I tell my clients to do the following to ensure proper balance of all the nutrients that is needed for the body:





Eat veggies (think like a rainbow and get all different colors to give you a variety of vitamins and minerals as well as fiber), eat fruit (rainbow again), lean meat (protein), dairy (calcium. You can have soy and rice milk if you aren't able to tolerate cow milk. Certain veggies have calcium in it as well.), whole grains (unless you have Celiac...then you will know what you can have based off of your doctor or nutritionist. Whole grains give you the fiber and vitamin B's), olive oil (good fats to help your brain think).





Stay away from sugar (empty nutrient value) and Aspartame (known to cause tumors, cancer, and weight gain
