Take care of yourself, the pyramid of healthy eating!
Table of Contents
1. Grain products
Grain products in the food pyramid are just above vegetables and fruits. They should be the primary source of energy in the human diet because the carbohydrates they contain are the only source of power for the brain, nervous system and erythrocytes. They provide complex carbs, dietary fiber and plant proteins. They contain primarily B vitamins and vitamin E. They also provide mineral components such as iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Carbohydrate is essential for oxidizing fatty products, they can also be used to synthesize amino acids. They are important because they are rich in nutrients, minerals and minerals.2. Fruit and vegetables
Vegetables and fruits, right after physical activity, form the basis of the current healthy eating pyramid. This means that their share in the daily diet should be the highest. It is very important to maintain a proper balance between them. During the day, the right proportion is 3⁄4 vegetables and 1⁄4 fruit. Fruits should be eaten less because of the simple sugar content fructose. Fruit and vegetables are a source of valuable vitamins, especially vitamin C and β-carotene. They also provide folic acid and vitamin K. They provide significant nutrients such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and salt. They can also increase the blood sugar content, which leads to improved blood sugar levels, as well as improves the health of the body.3. Milk and milk products
This is the next level of the healthy eating pyramid. These products should be on the menu twice a day. They are a source of calcium but also of high biological value proteins. They also provide B vitamins, vitamins A and D and mineral ingredients such as magnesium, potassium and zinc. Milk and dairy products contain saturated fatty acids and carbohydrates in the form of lactose. It should be emphasized that the ratio of saturates to unsaturated fats should be adequate to that of the population, and therefore the diet should not be based solely on products of animal origin.4. Meat, fish, eggs, pulses = protein products
However, we should not forget about lean red meat, such as beef cattle, as it is a source of high-value protein, vitamins B, especially B1, B12, PP, and easily digestible iron. It is recommended that the daily diet consists of meat with a lower content of saturated fatty acids such as poultrymeat. However, red meat is not to be forgotten, because it is an easy-to-digest source of iron, which is important to use, for example, in the treatment of anemia.5. It's the fat
They're at the top of the pyramid, but they're very important in the diet. It's also very important to limit the amount of animal fats in our daily diet. The best thing to do is to include fats, which are the source of the essential unsaturated fatty acids of NNKT. They are found in plant-based products, and so are oils, olives, and nuts. These fats are also found in fish. But it's important that we limit the dietary intake of animal fat and focus not only on added fat, but also on this in the non-saturated form found in food and health products.
