isn’t the only way to maintaining a healthy body. There are six different food groups that can help you maintain a healthy diet and body. The groups are: meat, bread and cereal, fruits, dairy, vegetables, and fats/oils. These groups provide the nutrients that a body needs. The meat group includes other foods beside the basic beef. There are foods like poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts. The bread/cereal group also includes pasta and rice. Fruits are pretty self-explanatory right along with vegetables. The dairy products are the foods made with milk like yogurt and cheese. One group that you need but can’t have a lot of is the fats. Even though it has fat in it, your body can’t live on those nutrients alone. All of the foods go hand in hand, if used properly. That means you have to maintain a good eating balance.Balancing your diet is one of the most important way to staying healthy. Eating too much of one thing, whether healthy or not is not keeping your diet balanced. The correct amount of each food group will help you maintain a balanced diet. When consuming products from the dairy category, only 2-3 servings are sufficient. While eating from the meat group, you should only take in 2-3 servings also. Sometimes a second helping is okay. In the vegetable group, you should eat 3-5 servings. In the fruit group, you should have 2-4 servings (of different fruit). The most you have to eat comes from the bread group. In this group, it’s recommended that you have 6-11 helpings. While fats and oils can be consumed, you should eat them sparingly. Eating these groups all properly will help you maintain the healthiest body possible. Being in good physical condition increases your daily energy. You get your top physical condition by exercising properly. While exercising, it’s better if its in your free time so that you don’t have to rush through it and try to do too much too fast. ...
