It is very important for a person to eat a variety of foods for several reasons. By eating only one kind of food, the aspect of boredom will arise. Say, for instance, you have a banana for a snack every day for a month. You will get bored and tired of eating banans. Instead, try a variety of fruit. On Monday maybe you can have a banana, then on Tuesday switch over to some watermelon, and on Wednesday, eat some strawberries, etc. By getting a variety of foods you will make eating a lot more enjoyable.

Eating a variety of foods is also very important for a balanced diet. By eating only one or two kinds of foods, you will not get the proper balance in your diet that you should have. If you feel you aren't getting the proper diet you should have, vitamin or mineral supplements might be a good choice for you. Althought convenient, supplements taken in large amounts can be harmful to your body.
