Food Groups and Healthy Eating

It is important to incorporate foods from each food group into your daily routine as they all have different functions in your body. The main food groups are grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and meat & beans. It is extremely important to eat a variety of foods, instead of only eating foods from one or two food groups. It is also vital that you are aware of which foods belong to which groups. Grains are breads, pastas, cereals, and foods of that sort. Dairy products are anything involving milk/cheese. Meat and beans are things like steaks, or beans such as legumes, black beans, baked beans and more. Being aware of these food groups will allow you to become a healthier eater.
