INTRODUCTION
Food: In order to understand how we can enjoy greater health and wellbeing, we need to understand something about
food. There are four essential groups of food. For health and wellbeing we require food from all the groups.The purpose of
this page is to stress that ALL four groups of food are essential to health and wellbeing. Even though we may be encouraged to
eat less fat, this page stresses that the body requires at least some food from each of the groups every day.
Many foods contain more than one group of food, and milk contains all groups of food.
Food is often classified as:Carbohydrate, including Fibre, Protein, Fat, Vitamins, and Minerals.
Drinks, or beverages, are liquids intended for human consumption. In addition to basic needs, beverages form part of
the culture of human society. Although all beverages, including juice, soft drinks, and carbonated drinks, have some form
of water in them, water itself is often not classified as a beverage, and the word beverage has been recurrently defined as not
referring to water .
An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, although in chemistry the definition of an
alcohol includes many other compounds. Alcoholic beverages, such as wine, beer, and liquor, have been part of human culture
and development for 8,000 years.
Non-alcoholic beverages often signify drinks that would normally contain alcohol, such as beer and wine but are made with
less than .5 percent alcohol by volume. The category includes drinks that have undergone an alcohol removal process such as
non-alcoholic beers and de-alcoholized wines.

CONCLUSION
From a global perspective, in order to reduce the harm caused by alcohol, policies need to take into account specific situations
in different societies. Average volumes consumed and patterns of drinking are two dimensions of alcohol consumption that need to
be considered in efforts to reduce the burden of alcohol-related problems. Avoiding the combination of drinking and driving is an
example of measures that can reduce the health burden of alcohol.
Food safety is best ensured by the shared responsibility of everybody involved with food from the professional to the consumer.
All along the food chain, various procedures and good practices are implementedto ensure that the food which
reaches the consumer's table is fit for consumption, that the risks of contamination are minimised so that the population as a whole
is healthier from the benefits of safe quality food. But responsibility for food safety should not only be the priority of professionals
in the food industry. There are rules and procedures to guide the professionals, but the consumer is equally responsible in order to
ensure the safety of food in the home.
