Build a strong foundation today for a healthier tomorrow by establishing healthy lifestyle habits. This means getting the proper rest, exercising your body and mind, and eating right. Current scientific research indicates relationships between what we eat and our risks for many chronic illnesses. Excessive consumption of fats and animal protein, and inadequate intakes of whole grains, and fruits and vegetables is linked to heart disease, digestive problems, and certain cancers.
The Food Guide Pyramid emphasises foods from the five food groups shown in the three lower sections of the Pyramid.

Each of these food groups provides some, but not all, of the nutrients you need.  Foods in one group can't replace those in another.  No one food group is more important than another.  For good health, you need them all.
