NUTRITION, FOOD GROUPS & HEALTH

By looking at the Food Guide Pyramid, you can see the types of food you should eat every day. The bigger the section of the pyramid, the more food you should eat of that kind. The base or lowest levels of the Food Guide Pyramid is the biggest, so you should eat the most servings of these food (bread, cereal, rice and pasta group). The top of the Food Guide Pyramid is the smallest, so you should eat the least of these foods.

Therefore, you build your healthy body from the bottom of the pyramid up!
