Life Science: Eating Healthy, Staying Healthy

To live a healthy lifestyle, scientists and doctors encourage us to eat more fruits, vegetables, and natural grains. They advice us to reduce the amount of fats in our diet. And limit intake of fats found in animal food products.

The food guide pyramid, demonstrates daily intake an individual needs to get the necessary nutrition while maintaining a healthy weight. The range of the number of servings allows the pyramid to be adapted to a person's age, size and other factors. For example, pregnant women and teenagers need more servings from the milk, yogurt, and cheese group than other people do.
