A healthy diet for me conjures up images of restriction, vegetables, fruit, whole meal bread, maybe some meat and fish and possibly a food pyramid however this is not the whole story.
A healthy balanced diet is not extreme as removing sugar or a food group like carbohydrates from your diet it is simply a balance of consuming a variety of food in the right quantity from each food group in order to maintain good health and nutrition.
The new and improved food pyramid
Understanding the new food pyramid:
Working from the bottom of the pyramid up daily exercise is shown important. Vegetables and fruits and whole grains and plant oils make up the largest amount of servings. Then the next highest consumption is legumes, nuts and seeds, then proteins and finally low fat dairy. Your least common intake should be red meat, butter and other high glycaemic foods.
