A varied diet simply means you are not eating the same foods every day; the foods that you eat vary, which prevents you from becoming deficient in any nutrient.
alkali-ash diet one of fruit, vegetables, and milk with as little as possible of meat, fish, eggs, and cereals. balanced diet one containing foods which furnish all the nutritive factors in proper proportion for adequate nutrition. bland diet one that is free of irritating or stimulating foods.
