The Food Pyramid!

Here’s a little refresher about the food pyramid.

• The base of the pyramid is foods that need the most servings each day. They include rice, bread, noodles, breakfast cereals and oats. Tip: Choose wholegrains as they contain more vitamins and minerals.

 Pyramid

• The second level is food that comes from plant – vegetables and fruits. They are required to ensure you are getting enough vitamins, mineral and fiber that are important to protect your health. Tip: Fruits can be taken fresh, canned, naturally dried and unsweetened, or in the form of 100% fruit juice without added sugar or preservatives.

• The third level of the pyramid comes mostly from animals including milk, meat, fish and eggs. These foods are important for protein, calcium, iron and zinc. Tip: Small fish with edible bones such as sardines provide calcium.

• The top of the pyramid is the also the smallest because it contains little good nutrients and must be consumed sparingly. They include salad dressings, cream, butter, oil, candy and sweet desserts. Tip: Replace study/work/TV snacks with bite-sized fruits!
