Eating healthy means choosing food that is good for us. A balanced diet provides our bodies with the essential nutrients, so that we can grow strong and healthy.
To choose healthy food, we can follow the food pyramid. The food pyramid is a guide that tells us what food we should eat every day. Food that is good for us is at the bottom of the pyramid, whereas food we should eat the least is found at the top.
Grains, such as rice, pasta and bread, should be eaten the most. They provide energy. We should also eat a lot of vegetables and fruit, which are full of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. They help us with our digestion and immune system. Besides, we should eat a moderate amount of meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. Meat is a good source of protein, vitamin B and minerals. Dairy products, like milk, cheese and yoghurt, give us protein, vitamin A, vitamin D and calcium. However, we should try to eat less salt, sugar, fat and oil.
