food pyramids

Food pyramids visually represent the proportions of different food groups recommended for a balanced diet. They typically show grains and cereals at the base, indicating they should make up the largest part of daily intake. Fruits and vegetables come next, followed by proteins like meat, beans, and dairy. Fats and sweets are at the top, suggesting they should be eaten sparingly. The purpose of the pyramid is to help individuals choose a variety of nutrient-rich foods in appropriate amounts, supporting overall health and well-being through balanced nutrition.
