Generally, good nutrition and al balanced diet means eating: Some grains, especially whole grain ; foods. -An assortment of fruits and vegetables. 'Some lean meats, poultry and fish. Some milk or other dairy foods. Not too many foods high in fats, sugar or salt. It means eating only as many calories as you need to keep your weight where it should be. That's what is meant by a balanced diet. Let's consider grains for a moment. Your grandparents probably ate more of these foods than you or your parents eat. That's because as people became more affluent, they switched from bread and pasta to meat, chicken and sweets. In addition, as Americans became more concerned with dieting and weight control, people ate less grain and cereals because they felt these foods contained too many calories and were too fattening. This is not true. It's the spread put on the bread or the oily sauce on the spaghetti that adds most of the calories. In fact, the grain group is an important source of some important nutrients. Products made with whole grain or enriched flour, rice and cornmeal are in this category. This means bread, muffins, pancakes, whole grain or ready-to-eat cereals, rice and enriched enrich-ed noodles of all kinds are included in this important food group.
