Food Pyramid

A well balanced diet!

During our health inquiry we have been learning about a well balanced diet.  We created a definition using a solo define map.  Here is our definition:

A balanced diet is eating the right types of food that gives your body the nutrients to function correctly.  To get proper nutritions from your diet you need to eat a healthy diet that contains the proper proportions of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.  You need to eat a well balanced diet to maintain good health and to help you feel your best.

We also have learnt about the food pyramid, proportions, and the eatwell plate.

Here is a picture of my food pyramid which includes the food groups and servings sizes. You must eat a balance of all food groups to maintain good health.
