ok now, we have seen the three food pyramids and..as you can see in all three.
LowestPart (Which We Should Eat The Most)
....is Carbohydrates-which consists of whole grain such as rice, wheat, corn and you name it.It is preferable that you eat them in its grainy form as this contains the most fibre compared to the processed (so-called) -white grain ones.
Carbohydrates also provide you with the most energy..so EAT A LOT of carbohydrates to keep you energized..
Second place
...is Vegetable this contributes to the most vitamin intake
for our body, especially dark green leafy vegetables and orange/red vegetables..dark green vegetables contains the most nutrients for your body and orange/red contains beta carotene that is required for making vitamin A.
Furthermore vegetables contains the most cellulose substances that makes it fibrous
and good for your digestion
Third Place
...is Fruits, there are many to choose from and all are delicious, in case you don't like fruits, try to adjust and experiment yourself with a wide range of fruits. There are a myriad choice to choose from, from citrus to seasonal fruit, and maybe you can explore other fruits from other countries..all depends on your budget and you initiative..
Meat, Poultry, Fish, beans, nuts, milks, cheese, yogurt, dairy products should be consumed in moderation.Unless you like to add your weight, you should avoid to eat this fruit often. Of course, Meat, Poultry are a good source of protein but as the saying goes too much of something is bad enough, Fish proteins are healthier to eat though, better still use plant-derived proteins which is found most in Soy Bean.
AT LAST but not least is fats, oils and sweets. fats and oils because it contains a lot of lipid substances that is easily deposited on your skin, buttocks, belly, neck, blood vessel and the outer layer of your heart aka pericardium. You don't want those to be there anyway, don't you?
WHY SWEET?
Sweet is the greatest and easiest source of (glucose) simple sugar for our body. It is readily available to be taken but if excessive it will cause accumulation of glucose in our body. Accumulation of glucose can increase your chance of getting diabetes. Whats more? unused glucose eventually will be stored as fat deposits. So Who says sweets can't make you fat?
In a nutshell, First Carbohydrates, Second Vegetables, Third Fruits,
Fourth Meat and Dairy Products, Fifth and the least Oils and Sweets.
