THE FOOD PYRAMID
Friday, November 28, 2008 | 0 Comments





The Food Pyramid

The food pyramid is an easy way to remember the healthiest way to eat. The food your child needs the most is at the bottom. Your child needs less of the foods located towards the top of the pyramid. At the very top is food that's not all that good for her, so she should only eat it once in a while. Let's take a closer look at what the food pyramid tells us about healthy eating.

The Foundation

At the bottom of the pyramid are bread, cereal, rice, and pasta. These foods contain mostly carbohydrates. The foods in this group are made mostly out of grains, such as wheat (flour), rye, and oats. Some starchy vegetables go in this group, too, like potatoes, peas, and corn. Really, they're vegetables, but your child's blood glucose levels react to them as if they were carbohydrates. So she should count them as carbohydrates for her meal planning. She needs six to eight servings of these foods per day.

The Second Floor

The next layer is fruits and vegetables, which are also made up of carbohydrates. They have plenty of vitamins and minerals. Your child needs about three to five servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruit per day.

The Third Floor

Near the top of the pyramid are milk and meat. These foods usually contain a lot of protein. Milk is also the best source of calcium, which helps your child's bones and teeth to stay strong as you grow. Milk products include all types of milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products. Your child needs two or three servings of milk per day. The meat group includes - you guessed it - all types of meat: beef, chicken, turkey, and fish. Even eggs, tofu, and some kinds of beans and nuts are included. She needs two or three servings of meat a day.

The Attic

At the very top of the pyramid is a little triangle. That's for fats, oils, and sweets. Things like potato chips, candy, and fried food contain a lot of fat or sugar. They aren't as nutritious as vegetables or grains. So your child shouldn't eat these foods every day. It's better to save them for a special treat.

The Basement

Some people like to imagine the food pyramid with another layer on the bottom, underneath the grains & starchy vegetables. This layer shows people walking, running, and riding their bikes everywhere we go. So, it's not really a part of the real food pyramid, but if it were, the exercise layer would remind us that it's very important for us all to be active every day. Staying active is important for everyone, but even more so for people with diabetes.
