USE THE HEALTHY DIET PYRAMID




         Sometimes you eat when you are hungry and, at other times just because you feel like it! Before you start on your next meal or snack, stop to think what your food choice will do to you. Will it nourish or punish your body?

    Your habitual food choices can either promote your health or increase your risk for developing chronic lifestyle related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and high blood cholesterol. So, do yourself a favour and eat wisely every day,
     
     This is example the healthy diet pyramid:-                                                                                                           
      There are so many types of food you can eat each day and you have to make the right choices to stay well nourished. There is no one food that can provide all the nutrients your body needs. You have to eat a wide variety of food, all in moderation and in the right balance.
   Made up of four 4 food groups stacked to form a pyramid, the Healthy Diet Pyramid serves as a guide to help you plan a healthy diet. Follow it and you will achieve a well-balanced diet that provides the nutrients you need, in the right amounts, each day.
