NUTRITION FOR HEALTH: THE FOOD PYRAMID
Video
This program defines the Food Pyramid, the new nutritional standard illustrating the
five food groups and their recommended daily portions. In a series of interviews,
high school students find out from health experts what proper nutrition is and how it can
be incorporated into a daily diet. The program points out that a healthy diet can be
thought of as a four-tiered pyramid. The largest part (base) of the pyramid should
consist of foods rich in complex carbohydrates. The next groups--fruit and
vegetables; milk and dairy products; and meat, fish and poultry--should make up the rest
of a daily diet. The tip of the pyramid--fats, oils, and sugars--should be avoided
because they are already present in the other groups. While emphasizing that each
food group is necessary for good health, the program stresses that incorporating the
proper amounts of each is vital to achieving good health.
