Portfolio Task 3

Balanced diet


The increasing rising standard has allowed people to give more attention to health. Some people assert that a healthy body is the key to our wellbeing. As far as I am concerned, there have been both merits and demerits regarding to this standpoint.


            No one can deny the fact that a healthy diet is one of the imperative factors contributing to people’s wellbeing. Malnutrition is still among the top causes of death in some impoverished countries in Africa, where there has never been adequate food distributed to each household. Lack of essential vitamins or some minerals can lead to severe consequences, even death. Nevertheless, a surfeit and overfeeding of junk food is not desirable for people as well. Nowadays, a number of people are plagued with obesity and diseases, most of which resulted from overeating or improper diet. Thus a balanced diet will help people lead a healthy life.

Admittedly, a sound diet is not the sole influence on people’s health. There are a large number of other factors. The sport is very important for health; regular exercise significantly boosts the function of heart and lung.

            In conclusion, I concede that a sound diet is critical to our physical wellbeing. Nonetheless, there are many other factors to making our body function well.
