Abstract
A balanced diet is a blend of quantity and quality of foods eaten to support an individual's health and well-being. This narrative review aims to deliver a simplified version of the 2020 dietary guidelines by the Indian Council of Medical Research and the National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR-NIN). The review comprehensively analyses the latest ICMR-NIN 2020 dietary guidelines for healthy adults. The approach to achieving a balanced diet is focused on the inclusion of a plant-based diet with special significance placed on dietary fibre and antioxidants. The review presents the updated macronutrient and micronutrient requirements, with the spotlight has been on the types of food to be taken or the food-based approach. This review also highlights food groups and gut nutrition and provides dietary tips on wholesome meals to promote optimal health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
