The Food Pyramid

The food pyramid, which is updated to the United States once every five years (the last update was in 2005) is essentially a guide that tells you what your nutrition levels should be. The original food pyramid was printed in 1992 to replace one of the oldest food classification systems. People eat junk food and not getting enough exercise. The food pyramid is a basic synopsis of daily consumption of all types of foods you should have. The new food pyramid also includes sections on how much exercise you should take.


For example, the new food pyramid tells you that you should have about 30 minutes a day of vigorous to moderate exercise. He explains the difference between the exercise of moderate and vigorous physical activity. One of the things that encourages moderate exercise such as brisk walking is that it sets like walking in about 3 1/2 mph. You can also see the food pyramid for children, food pyramid for vegetarians, even cultural food pyramids for different types of diet, such as Chinese food pyramid.
