      It is major question to maintain our healthy diet. Our healthy diet should contain balanced amount of vitamins, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. To contain these nutrients in our diet we should eat fresh fruits like apples, oranges, watermelon and many other local fruits. Our diet should contain green leafy vegetables and other vegetables like carrot, tomatoes, beetroot, raddish and dry fruits like almond, cashew, pista, walnut, etc. To fulfill the demand of protein in body one should contain proper amount of eggs, fish, meat, etc.

But when we buy vegetables and fruits from local markets their maybe chances of fertilizers on them. So after bringing them to home we should wash them properly so that's the fertilizers on them gets washed away and it become safe for eating. We should prefer fruits and vegetables which are grown without fertilizers and pesticides.
