Different foods contain different nutrients. No single food can supply
all the nutrients you need. Let the Healthy Diet Pyramid guide your
food choices and help you choose what and how much to eat each day.
The Healthy Diet Pyramid translates nutrient needs into actual foods.
It categorises commonly eaten foods into four food groups - rice and
alternatives, fruit and vegetables, as well as meat and alternatives -
which form the foundation of a healthy diet. It serves as a guide that
helps you plan a healthy diet that fits your lifestyle.
The Healthy Diet Pyramid conveys three main messages:• Eat a variety of food. This means eating different foods from thefour food groups as well as within each food group. Each foodgroup offers a variety of choices and each one has a uniquenutritional value. No one food supplies all the nutrients your bodyrequires to stay healthy.• Eat a balanced diet. This means eating the recommended numberof servings of food from the four food groups daily. Include someplant-based foods every day.• Eat in moderation. It means eating the right amount of food, neithertoo much nor too little. Foods high in fat, sugar and salt shouldonly be consumed in small amounts at all times.
