  1. FOOD GROUPS

  2. There are five main food groups that we need to eat food from every day to stay healthy. Our body needs food for energy, to grow and repair itself and to keep warm.

  3. The five main food groups are:

  4. Cereals This is the food group that we should eat most often. It includes healthy foods like cereal, rice and pasta. These products provide us with carbohydrates which give us energy.

  5. Vegetables and Fruits Vegetables and fruits give us fibre and important vitamins and minerals. We should eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables every day. Vegetables and fruits are a healthy snack between meals.

  6. Milk products This food group includes foods like cheese and yoghurt as well as milk. This is the best source of calcium which we need to make our bones strong.

  7. Meat This food group includes chicken, fish, meat, eggs, beans and nuts. The foods from this group give us proteins, iron and zinc.

  8. Fats, Oils and Sweets Fats, oils and sweets provide hardly any nutrition for the body so we should eat very little from this food group. Foods from this group are butter, sugar and cakes.
