DO YOU KNOW HOW TO EAT HEALTHY?

Since different foods have different nutritional values, it is not possible to obtain all the nutrients we need from a single food. According to the Healthy Eating Food Pyramid, we have to eat a variety of foods among all food groups as well as within each group in order to get different nutrients and meet our daily needs.

Eat the Right Amount

Neither eating too much nor too little is good for our health. Every day, we need a specific amount of nutrients to maintain optimal health. If we do not eat enough, under-nutrition and symptoms of deficiency are likely to develop; while over-nutrition and obesity can be resulted when we consume an excessive amount of any type of food. Therefore, we have to eat right amount of food to stay healthy.
