What is a healthy diet?
We need to eat the correct foods and the right amount of them to keep our bodies healthy. This food pyramid shows which foods we need to eat a lot of, these are at the bottom of the pyramid. It also shows which foods we should only be eating occasionally, these are at the top. The glasses at the bottom of the pyramid show the amount of water we should drink each day to remain healthy.
