Have you ever think you are what you eat?

Do the foods that you eat every day have a good nutrition? Good nutrition throughout life is essential if your image is to be that of well-formed, healthy person with shining hair, bright eyes, sound teeth, and a clear, glowing complexion. So, food not only affect your health but also your appearance.

Everyday, we divided food into four categories:

(1). Milk and dairy products

Milk and daily products help to provide the protein and minerals for growth. Adults also need milk to keep their bones and teeth strong. The following quantities of milk are recommended for different ages: babies-up to one quart each day; young children –two or three glasses; teenagers-four or mare glasses; adults-two or more glasses

(2). Meat and other protein product

Several foods may be used to provide the two or more serving recommended daily in the meat commonly served, but any type of the game such as venison or rabbit is also a suitable source of protein. All kinds of fish and poultry, eggs, and cheese are other good sources of animal protein.

(3). Vegetables and fruits

Four or more serving of fruits and vegetables are recommended each day. It is important that one of this serving s be a citrus juice (or berries).

(4). Breads and cereals.

Enriched bread and cereal products have had enough of the B vitamins and minerals added back to them to provide useful amount of these nutrients.
