The Healthy Food Pyramid(金字塔) is a simple guide to the types and proportion(比例) of foods that we should eat every day for good health. It contains the four main food groups, according to how much they contribute to a balanced diet based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
The bottom layers make up the largest part of the Pyramid because plant foods should make up the largest part of our diet—around 70% of what we eat! Plant foods contain a lot of nutrients(营养物) like vitamins and minerals(矿物质). Older children, teens and adults should aim to have at least 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables each day. The middle layer includes the milk, yoghurt, cheese, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and legumes(豆类) food groups. Foods in the milk, yoghurt, cheese primarily provide us with calcium and protein(钙和蛋白质), plus other vitamins and minerals. These foods are our main sources of protein. But each food also provides a unique mix of nutrients, including iron, zinc, B12 vitamins and healthy fats. We should aim to have a variety of animal and plant-based choices from this food group. The top layer refers to healthy fats. We need small amounts of healthy fats every day to support heart health and brain function.
Two more healthy suggestions. Water is the best drink and cooking your own meals at home and choosing minimally processed foods will help limit added salt and sugar.

3 . Scientists say there are seven kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; (2) citrus (柑橘类) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes, other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and food made from milk, like cheese and ice-cream; (6) bread or cereal (谷类) (rice is also in this kind of food) ; (7) butter or something like butter with fat (脂肪) .
People in different countries in the world eat different kinds of things. In some places, people eat once or twice a day; in other countries, people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that these differences are not important. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at 11 o’clock at night. The important thing is that every day a person must eat something from each of the seven kinds of food. The most important thing is that we must find some ways to help the hungry people and make the people have right kinds of food, make them strong and healthy.

8 . Nowadays, more and more people know the importance of health, yet many students are not as healthy as they could be. According to the survey, although more than 90 percent of primary, middle and high school students have fair health, only 33 percent of primary school students, 42 percent of middle school students and 28 percent of high school students are in excellent health.
According to this survey, we found that many students’ lifestyles are not good because they often eat junk food and seldom exercise. Only a few students exercise more than 1 hour every day. So what does a healthy lifestyle look like?
First of all, we need to have enough sleep. Every day we should sleep for at least 8 hours. Staying up late is bad for our health, so we’d better go to bed before 10 o’clock at night. It’s said that drinking a cup of milk before going to bed can help us sleep better.
It is also important to eat enough vegetables and fruit every day. As an old saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” So, it’s necessary to have some fruit every day. Also, do remember to drink enough water every day. Besides, many students believe that eating fish can make them cleverer, so they choose to eat fish more than twice a week.
All in all, we should maintain a healthy lifestyle. Hoping everybody can be happy and healthy.
