食物金字塔

A balanced diet is the key to good health and the Food Pyramid provides a guideline for healthy eating. It is therefore important that we try and follow the pyramid when we eat.

The Food Pyramid is divided into four groups. At the top of the pyramid is the fats and sugars group, below which is the dairy and meats group. Following is the fruits and vegetables group. Finally, the cereal group finds itself at the bottom of the pyramid.

The cereal group makes up the foundation of the Food Pyramid. Bread, rice and pasta are some examples of this food group. Since grains provides us the fiber and vitamins the body needs to stay active, it is recommended that we eat more of them.

The fats and sugars group is found at the top of the pyramid, meaning we should eat less of this group. Foods such as chocolate, sweets and ice-cream are prime examples and it is unhealthy to eat too much of them.

For tonight's dinner, I have decided to have pasta with tomato and vegetable, and grapes as desert. Moreover, I am going to drink apple juice. I believe that will make a healthy meal.
