You are what you eat
You’ve probably heard people talking about a ‘balanced diet.’ To
be healthy it’s very important to eat a balanced diet. But what does
it actually mean?
All the foods we eat can be put into one of five food groups.
A balanced diet is made up of the five food groups. The key to healthy
eating is to consume a variety of foods from across
the groups. The perfect balance is to get plenty of carbohydrates, fruit
and vegetables, lots milk and dairy, enough protein but to go easy on the
fats and sugars.
