Although nutrition is a large part of good health, exercise and your mental well being is also important. If you are stressed, depressed or unhappy, it will affect your health. All three need to be addressed to insure perfect health.

No, there are other factors to consider such as: Ensuring you get enough sleep, sunlight, excercise. There are also environmental factors which impact on health such as Smoking, workplace health environment. And you still can catch the common cold, sexual diseases etc. Having a healthy diet is just one factor toward keeping yourself healthy.

A balanced nutrition is meant to provide you energy for your daily activities, for growth, repair of worn out tissues as well as maitenance of health.

There are ailments that are nutrition related, ranging from those caused by under-feeding to others caused by under-nutrition. For instance, defficiency of proteins in children can cause Kwasiokor or marasmus. Defficiency of vitamins and minerals produce specific defficiency diseases such as rickets(Vitamin D defficiency) and goitre(Iodine defficiency).

On the subject of balanced nutrition and good health it must be understood that balanced diet can go a long way helping the body to resist disease attack. It should also be clear that not all diseases are related to nutrition. Some are hereditary while some others are pathogenic or mutagenic.
