Many people worry about their health. They obviously want to be healthy.
Here is the food you should eat for your health.
What foods are found in each category of food in the every day food guide for
healthy eating? Complete the table.
Before you begin the next activity, think about your diet! Is it a bad diet or a
good diet? What effects will there be if you have a good diet? And what
effects will there be get if you don’t?
There is some up-to-date advice about the amount and kinds of foods and
drinks that we need every day for our health and well-being.
By eating the recommended amounts from the Five Food Groups and limiting
foods that are high in fat, sugars and salt, you can get enough of the nutrients
essential for good health. You may reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as
heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and some cancers. You will also feel
better, look better, enjoy life more and live longer!
The amount of food you need from the Five Food Groups depends on your
age, gender, height, weight and physical activity levels. For example, a 21-
year-old man should aim for 6 serves of vegetables a day, whereas a 21-year-
old woman should aim for 5 serves a day. A 61-year-old man should aim for 6
serves of carbohydrates a day, and a 61-year-old woman should aim for 4
serves a day. Those who are taller or more physically active (and not
overweight) may be able to have additional serves of the Five Food Groups or
margarine and oils or discretionary choices.
