Food Pyramids My Plate Fruits & Vegetables • help promote a healthy weight • reduce your risk for obesity related diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. • play an important role in cancer prevention and may help boost your immune system. • When using the MyPlate method, fruits and vegetables consist of half the plate. It is important to choose fruits and vegetables of different colors. This gives your body the widest variety in nutrients. Grains • Whole grains have been shown to lower cholesterol, help people reach and maintain a healthy weight, aide in digestion, and reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and stroke. • Typically, when we think of whole grains, we think of wheat bread, however there are many other options for whole grains that we can choose. • Other options include: brown rice, oatmeal, popcorn, whole-wheat products (bread, cereals, pastas, crackers) Dairy • include milk, yogurt, and cheese • most commonly known for providing calcium and vitamin D to support bone and dental health. • also are good sources of potassium, protein, and other vitamins and minerals important in maintaining general health. • It is recommended for everyone over the age of 2 to primarily consume low-fat (1%) and non-fat (skim) dairy products. These choices are lower in calories, fat, and saturated fat, which help promote a healthy weight and heart while providing similar nutrients as whole fat and reduced fat (2%) products. Protein • needed for our bodies to help in the development of muscle tissue and to fight infection. • provide many vitamins and minerals like iron, which helps to prevent anemia, a condition affecting the immune system, development, learning, and a person’s energy level. • Many protein-rich foods contribute to higher cholesterol levels, which is why it is important to choose proteins that are lean, meaning lower in saturated fat. • Ex.: chicken, turkey; salmon, tuna, tilapia, beans, eggs.
