  1. How To Eat Healthy Abhi and Harry

  2. Five food groups names • •Fruit and vegetables. • •Starchy foods, such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta. Choose wholegrain varieties whenever you can, or eat potatoes with their skin on for more fibre. • •Meat, fish, eggs and beans. • •Milk and dairy foods. • •Foods containing fat and sugar

  3. Fruit and Vegetables • Fruits and vegetables are a vital source of vitamins, minerals and fiber that support a healthy body and prevent serious illnesses. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is also believed to maintain well-being and help the body combat stress. The United States Department of Agriculture suggests eating between three and five portions of fruits and vegetables daily.

  4. Starchy Foods • The term is most common in biochemistry, where it is a synonym of saccharide. The carbohydrates (saccharides) are divided into four chemical groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. In general, the monosaccharides and disaccharides, which are smaller (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates, are commonly referred to as sugars.[6] The word saccharide comes from the Greek word σάκχαρον (sákkharon), meaning "sugar." While the scientific nomenclature of carbohydrates is complex, the names of the monosaccharides and disaccharides very often end in the suffix -ose. For example, grape sugar is the monosaccharide glucose, cane sugar is the disaccharide sucrose, and milk sugar is the disaccharide lactose (see illustration).

  5. Protein • Protein gives you energy, growth, helps grow/ repair cells, produces neurotransmtitters that keeps the brain moving smoothly and gives other nutrients. Some protein foods are Milk, dairy foods, meat, fish, chicken, red meat, eggs, beans, lentils, nuts, tofu and soya.

  6. Milk and Dairy foods • Milk and dairy products, such as cheese and yoghurt, are great sources of protein and calcium. To make healthier choices, go for lower-fat milk and dairy foods. • Because they're good sources of protein and calcium, milk and dairy products form part of a healthy diet. • Our bodies need protein to work properly and to grow or repair themselves. Calcium helps to keep our bones strong. The calcium in dairy foods is particularly good for us because our bodies absorb it easily.

  7. Fat and sugar • We can actually do without sugar, but it makes things taste nicer. Too much sugar in our diets can damage our teeth. When we eat and drink foods that have high amounts of sugar, acids are produced in the mouth by bacteria that live in the plaque on the surface of the teeth. These acids begin to dissolve the enamel and this leads to tooth decay.
