It is well known to be a balanced diet playing a key role in maintaining the good health of the individual, preventing chronic metabolic diseases, and optimizing genetic inheritance. It involves the presence of all macro- and micronutrients distributed in a balanced manner during the daily meals, with a prevalence of food of vegetal origin, such as cereals, legumes and olive oil, used as main dressing.
