Analysis of food groups


Food is superyummy. It is also superimportant! We need to consume a certain amount of different types of food each day to perform bodily functions, ensuring a superhealthy body!

Rice and alternatives are a good source of carbohydrates, which provides me with energy to carry out activities, such as playing basketball. When the body exercises, it requires a large amount of energy derived mainly from these sources, so it is important that I eat enough carbohydrates. Whole-grain foods also provide dietary fibre J

Fruit and vegetables are generally low in fat and protein but high in vitamins, minerals and fibre. They contain important nutrients necessary in some bodily functions. Veggies are yummy and cool! Some vegetables and fruits are anti-carcinogenic, anti-bacterial and can help prevent common diseases such as heart disease, bone disease, etc.

Meat and alternatives are rich in protein, which helps my body to repair and build lost muscles after basketball training, so I will be more muscular! HAHAHA!!! Ok and some foods that fall in this group also contains calcium. I should eat more of these because they help me to grow taller, have strong bones and teeth! (strong teeth can bite hard food, which is very useful)
