Слайд 20The general principles of healthy food can be presented in the
form of a PYRAMID.
Слайд 21It’s important to eat well balanced meals.
Food Pyramid is a general
guide of what to eat each day because people must eat a variety of foods to stay healthy.
The balanced and healthy Food Pyramid was reworked from basic food groups, consisting of meat, dairy products, grains, fruit and vegetables.
No one food group is more important than another, so a person needs them all for good health.
Слайд 23My Pyramid
Based on science
Based on Dietary Guidelines
Focuses on food
Слайд 24Important Components

Improvement
Слайд 25Message: Variety
Color bands represent that all food groups are needed
each
day for health
Слайд 27
Message: Proportionality
Differing widths of the color bands
suggest about how much
food
should be eaten from each group
Слайд 28Message: Moderation
Food group bands narrow from bottom to top suggesting to
eat nutrient-dense forms of foods
Слайд 29Message: Physical Activity
Steps and person on them symbolize that physical activity
should be a part of everyday healthy living
Слайд 30Additional Messages in the MyPyramid Graphic
Personalization:
The name “MyPyramid” suggests
an individual approach
The person climbing the steps
mentally links each viewer to
the image
Gradual Improvement:
The slogan “Steps to a Healthier You” suggests that improvement should happen in stages, over time

Oils, Fats, and Sweets
This section doesn’t make up a food group.
You shouldn’t use “Others” too much. Your body only needs a small amount of fat.
Sugary foods usually don’t have many vitamins and have too much fat and calories in them.
Слайд 38Physical Activity
Find your balance between food and physical activity
Be physically active
for at least 30 minutes most days of the week
Children and teenagers should be physically active for 60 minutes every day, or most days
Слайд 39So we know how many servings
we need from each food
group.

a serving size
from each group:
Grains: 1
slice of bread
Vegetables : 1/2 cups of cooked vegetables
Fruits: 3/4 cup of juice
