What is a healthy diet?

In Healthy Diet: Overview, dated 26 January 2026, the World Health Organization explain:

“The exact make-up of a diversified, balanced and healthy diet will vary depending on individual characteristics (e.g. age, gender, lifestyle and degree of physical activity), cultural context, locally-available foods and dietary customs.

However, the basic principles of what constitutes a healthy diet remain the same and are described in four principles:

  • Adequacy: meets, without exceeding, micronutrient and macronutrient needs such that deficiencies are prevented
  • Balance: total energy intake is balanced with energy expenditure, with an adequate balance across the three primary sources of energy, protein, fats and carbohydrates
  • Moderation: limited intake of nutrients, ingredients, and foods that may be detrimental to health
  • Diversity: inclusion of a wide variety of nutritious foods within and across food groups”.2
