The Food guide pyramid helps us choose a healthy diet.
Why do you suppose it’s important to have a healthy diet?
Researchers have found that when you eat the right foods you are less likely to get sick. Your body can fight off diseases because it’s been getting all the nutrients to keep it strong..
The food pyramid is split into 6 groups.
The base of the pyramid is the group that we need the most servings of.
What is that group? The breads, grains and cereals. How many servings does it say we need?
The next layer up is the fruits and vegetables.
The next layer is the dairy product group. They’re especially rich in the mineral called calcium which makes our bones strong.. And The protein rich foods.
The top layer some people don’t even consider it a group. It is the very smallest. It has the sweets, fats, and salt. You wouldn’t even need to try to get anything from this group because if you ate things from the other 5 groups you would already get enough of these foods.
