2. Read the text about the food pyramid and explain how your food pyramid looks like. Should you make any changes in it?

Released in 1992, the food pyramid is a nutrition guide suggesting how much of each food category one should eat each day for a healthy diet.

In general terms the food guide pyramid recommends the following intake of different food groups each day

The pyramid allowed individuals to consume the foods within a certain range of servings, but in the original version released in 1992 gave no hint on how to interpret that choice. Later on, The United States Department of Agriculture released a new version of the 1992 food pyramid called MyPyramid which gives a hint about what a serving should contain:

· Grains, recommending that at least half of grains consumed be as whole grains;

· Vegetables, emphasizing dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, and dry beans and peas;

· Fruits, emphasizing variety and deemphasizing fruit juices;

· Oils, recommending fish, nut and vegetables sources;

· Milk, a category that includes other dairy products;

· Meat and beans, emphasizing low-fat and lean meats such as fish as well as more beans, peas, nuts, and seeds.

 

 

1. Render the text into English:

WHAT IS A HEALTHY DIET?

 


Let's begin with the most basic questions of all… What is it in food which our minds and bodies need? Well, the answer comes in six parts: — Carbohydrate — Protein — Fat — Vitamins — Minerals — Fibre.

Naturally. different foods contain different amounts and combinations of these six. Some are high in protein or carbohy­drates, for example, while others are low in fibre or fat. It can all seem very confusing, but it isn't reallv. All you need to know are a few simple facts, then it's easy to:

(a] avoid what is bad for you.

(b) choose a balanced, healthy diet
