Whole grains are the base of a balanced diet and they satisfy hunger. They contain essential
nutrients like fiber, carbohydrates, Vitamins B and E, as well as many cancer-fighting agents
called antioxidants and phytochemicals. According to the University of Minnesota, most
Americans do not eat the grains they need to reap the health benefits. When consumed in the
recommended quantities, grains have been shown to reduce the risks of many chronic diseases
such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.
As you plan your menu, be sure to include the recommended amounts of whole grains such as
brown rice, oatmeal, whole or rolled oats, pearl barley, popcorn, whole wheat and wild rice.

Vegetables contain many of the vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy body. Science is
now discovering that vegetables also contain the antioxidants and phytochemicals that are
extremely important in the body’s protections against cancer and coronary artery disease.
Equally important is what vegetables don’t contain. While vegetables can provide many
necessary vitamins and minerals, they do not add cholesterol to the diet. Cholesterol is the
leading indication of coronary artery disease.

Hidden answer:
Fruits differ from vegetables in that they come from the flowering ovary part of the plant which
covers the seeds. They provide their own contribution to the body’s nutritional needs. Probably
the most widely known benefit is the contribution of citrus fruits – vitamin C.
Fruits provide vitamins, carbohydrates, fiber and minerals and are widely known for their role in
preventing many chronic and infectious diseases. In addition, they do not contain cholesterol.
As in all of the food groups, different fruits provide different benefits, and we need a variety of
fruit types to balance our diets. Figs, citrus, rosy fruits (like apples, peaches and pears) and
berries are all part of a healthy diet.

Milk has been referred to as “’nature’s perfect food.” The reason for this is the wide variety of
nutrients found in milk. It is the food produced by the body for the young, and includes the basic
nutrients for building strong bones and for sustaining a growing baby. Milk provides protein,
calcium (the nutrient of strong bones), and vitamins necessary for growth. Additionally,
commercially produced milk is supplemented with other vitamins, notably vitamin D, that the
body needs. Dairy products also provide fats, which can be problematic if not eaten in
moderation.
Dairy products can also be a problem for some people who have an allergic reaction to them.
This reaction, called lactose intolerance means that they are not able to digest the products in
the milk. Those individuals must supplement their diet with lactose free products and increase
intake of other foods high in calcium, protein and the vitamins found in milk.
Fats, which are found in dairy products and meat, are necessary for growth, healthy skin, and
protection against disease. They are needed to make hormones, insulate the body and its
organs, and some essential vitamins are found in some high fat foods. Some types of fats,
especially omega-3, can aid weight loss and disease prevention. Eating some sources of fats
are better than others for overall heart health, such as fat found in fish and nuts; and like all of
the food groups, we need to obtain our fats from a variety of sources.

Interactive question:
What are some of the main types of protein?
Proteins are a vital nutrient in the building and maintenance of body cells. They are made up of
building blocks called amino acids. The body manufactures all but 9 out of the 20 different
amino acids. How do you get the 9 essential amino acids that our bodies do not make? You
have to eat foods that contain these amino acids. In addition, proteins make enzymes,
hormones, vitamins, and antibodies along with transporting oxygen and bodily wastes. Omega-3
fatty acids, found in fish, have been found to possibly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Although red meat is high in protein, it is also high in cholesterol and fat. Limiting the fat content
of red meat, and eating other meats and protein sources such as poultry, fish, nuts and beans,
can also positively affect your cholesterol. As in the other food groups, you need a variety of
meats, beans, and nuts to get the complete nutritional benefits of this food group.
