Food Pyramid becomes My Plate

For many people healthy living is mostly associated with a diet. Healthy and nutritious diet plays very important role and can help you look and feel your best easier than you might think!
Despite the variety of diets that you might see in some diet books, TV programmes and websites, healthy eating can be really straightforward. After been trying different diets, we often ask ourselves: Why this does not work for me?!
When it comes to a healthy diet, Balance is the key principal to getting it right. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions, and consuming the right amout of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
