A healthy balanced diet chart typically includes a variety of foods from all food groups, prioritizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein sources, healthy fats, and dairy , while limiting added sugar, saturated fat, and sodium, ensuring adequate hydration with water throughout the day; key elements include: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein-low-fat dairy, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils with portion control based on individual needs and activity level.
