What should a healthy diet include?

Answer 1

A healthy diet should include everything in moderation. Have you heard of the food pyramid? (See related links below). It is a guide to what we should be eating. At the bottom you have the food can eat a lot of (cereals, brown bread, brown rice), next up you have fruit and vegetables (4-5 servings a day), then there is meat, poultry, fish and dairy products (2-3 servings a day) and last at the top you have junk food and food that is not particularly healthy for you that should be eaten very seldom. All these foods give us vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and minerals that we need to have. * Cereals, rice, bread: carbohydrates, vitamins and fibre * Fruit and veg: water, iron (green veg), vitamins and minerals * Meat: protein, fat, iron, vitamins and minerals * Dairy: calcium, fat, vitamins and minerals
