The Food Guide Pyramid.

The food guide pyramid shows the groups of food that make up a healthy diet. If you follow the pyramid's advice, you'll obtain the nutrients and energy you need, without eating too many calories or too much fat, cholesterol or sugar! The larger the section, the more of the food group you should eat.

At the bottom of the pyramid we have bread, cereals, rice and pasta. These are a good source of carbohydrates, the nutrient that gives you energy. Next, we have two sections, one of fruit and one for vegetables. Fruit and vegetables have a lot of vitamins and minerals, and fiber, which is good for digestion. Going up the pyramid, we find the dairy products group, which includes milk and cheese. At the same height, we have meat, poultry, fish, beans and nuts. Both these groups are rich source of protein. At the top of the pyramid, we find fats, oils and sugars. Enjoy just a little bit from this part of the pyramid, as these foods are high in calories.
