Food Pyramid
The Food Pyramid is a visual image illustrating the percentages of each group of food that make up a healthy diet.
How the Food Pyramid is constructed:
The food pyramid has four levels.
1. At its base, the foundation of a healthy diet, are bread, grains, and cereals. They should compose the largest percentage of what you consume.
2. Next come two food groups (vegetables and fruits) which, together, occupy the second tier of the pyramid.
3. On an even higher, smaller level you find the next two food groups: the milk and meat groups.
4. In the small triangle at the top of the pyramid sit fats and oils and sugars.
The lower the food is on the food triangle, the more it should make up your diet; the higher the food, the lower the percentage of your diet it should make up.
