Week 2: Food groups
There are 4 main food groups, which include: Carbohydrates, Protein, Dairy, Vegetables and fruits
Each of these food groups provide different benefits and nutrients to our body
Carbohydrates (also known as carbs) are a good source of energy and fibre.
Wholegrain foods usually take longer to digest so they can help you to feel full for a longer time which include food products like brown rice, wholewheat pasta, whole oats, wholegrain breakfast cereals.
Carbs provide our body with glucose, which is converted to energy and it is used to support different functions of the body like performing physical activity.
But carbohydrate it is important to note that the type of carbohydrate is really important because some types of carbohydrate foods are healthy, and some can be unhealthy
Unhealthy carbohydrates include foods like white bread, pastries, and other processed or refined foods can interfere with weight loss and can promote diabetes and/or heart disease.
Next, we will be talking about the 2nd food group which is protein
Meat is a good source of protein as it contains the most amount of protein
For this reason, it is really important for vegetarians to make sure they are including enough protein into their diet
For vegetarian’s protein can be found in foods like beans, peas, lentils, tofu
Protein sources for meat eaters can come from beef, chicken, fish and eggs
Meat foods are the main sources of vitamin B12, which is an important vitamin and is only found in food from animals like meat and milk.
Vitamin B12 is important for our body, because it helps to keep blood cells and our nerves cells healthy.
Proteins help to reduce our appetite, and it helps us to feel full for longer
Protein also helps to increase your muscle mass and increase your strength and reducing your appetite it can also be great for weight loss and can boost your metabolism.
And now moving on to the 3rd food group, which is dairy.
Dairy and dairy alternatives are good sources of protein and vitamins, also contain calcium, which helps keep our bones and teeth healthy and strong.
From all of these, full-fat milk contains the most amount of fat
The other 3 types of milk contain less fat, but still contain protein, vitamins and calcium.
Dairy-free milk alternatives include soya milk and nut milks – if you chose dairy-free milk then go for unsweetened varieties which tend to be healthier than the other options
Dairy products also include food products like cheese, yogurt, butter
It is important to watch your intake of dairy products, because they can have a large amount of fat in them.
The 4th and final food group is fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables contain important vitamins and minerals that help prevent disease.They also contain fibre which can help to lower cholesterol and help digestion.
Fruits and veggies also contain antioxidants which help protect your body against harmful molecules
Fruits and vegetables are low in fat, so you can eat a large amount of them, and it will make you feel full without all the extra calories
Another great benefit of fruits and vegetables is that they have been found to control blood pressure, cholesterol, protect against cancer, and much much more
