Healthy Food Quiz

Healthy eating is an essential part of leading a balanced and active lifestyle. The food pyramid is a visual representation of the five food groups that are crucial for maintaining good health. The five food groups are fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Each group provides essential nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while grains provide energy through carbohydrates. Protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and legumes help build and repair tissues, and dairy products like milk and cheese are excellent sources of calcium for strong bones and teeth. Eating a variety of foods from these groups in appropriate portions is key to promoting overall health and well-being.
