This document outlines the components of a balanced diet and what foods fall into each category. It identifies the five main food groups: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and dairy and milk. Carbohydrates provide energy and are found in foods like bread, pasta and cereal. Proteins from meat, poultry, fish and dairy are vital for health. Fats supply energy but should be consumed in moderation. Vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables boost the immune system and support growth. Dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese promote bone and dental health. A balanced diet incorporates portions from each food group along with regular exercise and a positive attitude.
