4. The Australian Guide to Healthy EatingFood Groups There are lots of different types of foods our body needs to function properly. These foods are our energy that we intake. When we exercise, we are using this energy. We also use this energy just to walk, breathe, move and even sleep. Some foods are healthier than others because they have more nutrients. There are many types of nutrients and we need a variety of foods to get all the ones we need. Unhealthy foods, like lollies and cakes, have too much fat, sugar and salt and hardly have any nutrients.
