Ever wondered what to eat, how much to eat and from which food group? There’s no better guide to help you achieve this than the food pyramid which ensures that you eat a balanced diet, through a proper understanding of what and how much to eat. The model shows which kinds of food should be eaten in greater amounts and which should be consumed in a relatively lesser quantity to accomplish a balanced diet.
Each group of the food pyramid is important as it supplies us with some nutrient or the other, so don’t miss out on any group. At the base of the pyramid stands the Bread and Cereal group. These foods help in maintaining a diet which is low in fat but high in carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals and thus should be eaten more. Foods such as wheat, rice, flour, flakes, vermicelli, etc are included in this group.
