HEALTHY FOOD

Pgina 4

UNIT 2
_____________________________________________________________

Foods made from grains (wheat, rice, and oats) help form the foundation of a
nutritious diet. They provide vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates (starch and
dietary fiber), and other substances that are important for good health. Grain
products are low in fat, unless fat is added in processing, in preparation, or at the
table. Whole grains differ from refined grains in the amount of fiber and nutrients
they provide, and different whole grain foods differ in nutrient content, so choose
a variety of whole and enriched grains. Eating plenty of whole grains, such as
whole wheat bread or oatmeal as part of the healthful eating patterns described
by these guidelines, may help protect you against many chronic diseases. Aim
for at least 6 servings of grain products per daymore if you are an older child
or teenager, an adult man, or an active woman and include several servings of
whole grain foods. See box 8 for serving sizes.
Vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other protective substances in whole grain foods
contribute to the health benefits of whole grains. Refined grains are low in fiber
and in the protective substances that accompany fiber. Eating plenty of fibercontaining foods, such as whole grains (and also many fruits and vegetables)
promotes proper bowel function. The high fiber content of many whole grains
may also help you to feel full with fewer calories. Fiber is best obtained from
foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables rather than from fiber supplements
for several reasons: there are many types of fiber, the composition of fiber is
poorly understood, and other protective substances accompany fiber in foods.
Use the Nutrition Facts Label to help choose grains that are rich in fiber and low
in saturated fat and sodium.

1. What types of
carbohydrates does grain
provide the body with?

Pgina 5

The types of carbohydrates are: starch and

UNIT 2
_____________________________________________________________
dietary fiber.

2. What's the difference

between whole grain and
refined grain products?

Whole grains differ from refined grains in the

amount of fiber and nutrients they provide.

3. Why does a teenager

require more grain than
an adult?

Because they provide vitamins, minerals and

carbohydrates that are important for good
health, they protect you against many chronic
diseases and promotes proper bowel function

4. Why are you often told

to eat products that are
high in fiber?

Because help you to feel full with fewer calories

and promotes proper bowel function.

How much water do you drink every day?
Once the doctor recommended me to take two liters of water daily, since that time I take eight glasses of
water daily, excluding drinks meals.
What do you think about unhealthy food?
Unhealthy food is applied to some foods that are perceived to have little or no nutritional value. Junk foods
are typically ready-to-eat convenience foods containing high levels of saturated and trans fats, salt, or sugar,
and little or no fruit, vegetables, or dietary fiber; and are considered to have little or no health benefits.
Most modern killer diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are definitely related to our diet
