Food pyramid
Work material using different multiple intelligences:
information on the theme (Linguistic intelligence)
an application for a healthy diet (visual intelligence)
a 3D model of the food pyramid (visual intelligence)
how much of each type of food we buy (logical mathematical intelligence)
our conclusions and recommendations (intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences)
Additional features:
about the diet of vegetarians (naturalistic intelligence)
about the diet of athletes (kinesthetic intelligence)
a song video (musical intelligence)
Some questions:
Do you know if you eat healthy?

Introduccion:
Do you want to hear a little secret? I dont think you realize what youre eating! We mean, in the literal
sense, you know exactly what youre eating. You know youre eating pizza and nachos on the
weekend. You know youre eating chips and ice cream when you get that late night craving. And you
know youre eating anything you can get your hands on when no one is watching; am I right? Its a
pretty bold statement for us to say, I dont think you realize what youre eating, but let us explain you
something about healthy, well you know in specific a good diet and you have to help us to this
information that we are going to tell you, you can take advantage of this.

development of children. A healthful diet also helps Americans reduce their risks for many health
conditions including:
Overweight and obesity
Malnutrition

Heart disease
High blood pressure

Constipation
Diverticular disease
Some cancers
Diet
Diet reflects the variety of foods and beverages consumed over time and in settings such as worksites,
schools, restaurants, and the home. If you eat a varied and balanced diet, then there is normally no need to
take any food supplements youll get everything you need from your food. The one exception to this is folic
acid.
We understand that a diet is balanced, when all food groups are included in our diet covering individual daily
needs.Each country designs its own food pyramid according to their customs and culture.
There are no good and bad foods. No food alone can be considered beneficial or harmful to health.
We recommend eating mostly vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy proteins. We
suggest drinking water instead of sugary beverages, and we also address common dietary concerns such
as salt and sodium, vitamins, and alcohol. Its also important to stay active and maintain a healthy weight.
Pyramid food and balance diet
The food pyramid is designed to make healthy eating easier. Healthy eating is about getting the correct
amount of nutrients protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals you need to maintain good health.
Foods that contain the same type of nutrients are grouped together on each of the shelves of the Food
Pyramid.
So in a nutshell, healthy eating involves:
Plenty of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and cereals going for the wholegrain varieties whenever you
can
Plenty of fruit and vegetables
Some milk, cheese and yoghurt
Some meat, poultry, eggs, beans and nuts
A very small amount of fats and oils
And a very small amount or no food and drinks high in fat, sugar and salt
The diet of vegetarians
We all know what it means to be vegetarian who does not eat meat, noted that not eating meat has a cardio
protective power and help prevent obesity. However, talk about vegetarian diet is not synonymous with healthy
diet, because we can be vegetarians and eat daily noodles and chips with soda, which involve not include
foods of animal origin but at the same time, no vitamins, minerals or fiber then the benefits of a vegetarian diet
would be limited. Increased risk of some micronutrients deficiencies because the high fiber intake can prevent
proper absorption of minerals and also some nutrients are scarce or absent in the plant kingdom.
For example: Vitamin B12 is obtained from meat products only.
Sport Nutrition
A fundamental aspect of the sport is to control weight; depending on the sport you practice the ideal weight
varies. Therefore we recommend consulting the sport ideal weight.
