Food Pyramid

The Food Pyramid is a visual guide that helps people understand how to eat a balanced diet. It categorizes foods into groups such as grains, vegetables, fruits, proteins, and dairy. The pyramid's shape indicates the recommended proportion of each group: larger sections like grains and vegetables should be eaten more often, while smaller sections like fats and sweets are consumed sparingly. It encourages variety and moderation, emphasizing whole foods and appropriate portion sizes to support overall health and well-being.
