Stanley's Information Report on the Food Pyramid

The Food Pyramid

The Food Pyramid helps to eat healthy. It organises food into food groups.

3 main groups in the food pyramid are: Fats and Oils, Dairy, and Proteins. It is important to follow it to form a healthy lifestyle.

Fats & Oils

Fats and oils are at the top of the food pyramid.                       

Fats & Oils contains no vitamins and minerals. They have the 2 most unwanted items; Saturated fat, and calories. Try not to eat a lot of this item.

Dairy Products

Dairy should be a item that is eaten moderately.

Milk contains: Calcium, Protein, Phosphorus and vitamins A & D.

Calcium is a mineral which bones need to be healthy and strong.

Protein

Protein sources are: Meat, Beans and Dairy. All and all, meat and beans are the highest source of Protein. Protein Contains: Protein, iron, zinc, and Vitamin B. It is important for our body. You need iron because it is good for your blood and will also help to transport oxygen through your body.
