Healthy Food
English for You and Me
What a healthy diet should look like?
WHAT IS A BALANCED DIET ?
Eating a balanced diet means
choosing a wide variety of
food and drinks from five food
groups.
FIVE MAIN GROUPS
•Carbohydrates
•Protein
•Fats
•Vitamins and minerals
•Diary products
CARBOHYDRATES
Found in breads, pastas, cereals, and
almost everything sweet.
Carbohydrates provide energy your body
needs to help you function throughout the
day.
They are the energy that keeps your body
moving, similar to the way gas functions for a
car.
PROTEINS
All foods made from meat, seafood, beans
and peas, eggs, processed soy products,
nuts, and seeds are considered part of the
Protein Foods Group.
Meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and seed group
provide nutrients that are vital for our
health.
FATS
Fat is a nutrient. It is crucial for normal body
function and without it we could not live. Not
only does fat supply us with energy, it also
makes it possible for other nutrients to do
their jobs.
Fats give our body energy that can be stored
Some fats under our skin keeps us warm.
But, be careful…
Eating too much fat can make us overweight.
VITAMINS AND MINERALS
 Vitamins and minerals make our bodies
work properly.
 vitamins and minerals boost our body’s
defense system and help to grow our
body.
 We can get the vitamins and minerals from
vegetables and fruit.
DAIRY PRODUCTS
Dairy products help to make our health
good and make our bones and teeth
healthy.
They provide nutrients that are important for
our bodies. These nutrients include calcium,
potassium, vitamin D, and protein.
TIPS FOR HEALTHY DIET
A well balanced diet including food from all
nutrients in correct form
Engage in regular physical exercise at
least 30 mins
Have a positive attitude

