New Food Pyramid Has Incorporated A Few Changes From The Original Food PyramidFive Main Groups The new food pyramid has five main types of food groups including bread as well as cereals, fruits, vegetables, and proteins and finally, diary. However, there are different kinds of foods that fit into each group and for example, when choosing proteins, you may include meats and poultry and eggs and beans as too nuts. In addition, there are separate portions recommended for men and for women as too for children, and there is no separate group for fats, sweets and oils because these are generally consumed in small quantities and so, do not require a grouping for them. Even though the new food pyramid has proved to be effective for many people, there are still many detractors of it that complain that not enough and proper research has gone into its makings. Nevertheless, there is still a new food pyramid that is being developed in which portions are left unchanged though new and different foods have been added that can form a part of a healthy diet. Some of these foods that have been added to the new food pyramid which will contribute to better health include items such as whole grains, plant oils, fish, poultry as well as eggs, butter and red meats, and vitamin supplements. The first such new food addition is the whole grains that are ideal because they supply your body with carbohydrates that the body needs and you can also include oatmeal and also whole wheat bread and bran. Next, there are plant oils which were not included in the original food pyramid though you should include unsaturated fats that are found in olives, soy, canolas and corn sunflower and also peanut oils which are useful in reducing cholesterol. As for fish, eggs and poultry, you get protein from them and they are more suited than animal meats and you can also include milk and cheese in this regard. The new food pyramid also advises eating red meat and butter in sparing quantities, while vitamin supplements ensure that the organs get the required nourishment. |
