Let’s dig deeper
A healthy diet provides the nutrients needed for growth and development. A nutrient are
substances in foods the body need. There are fifty nutrients, which can be grouped into six main types. They are
as follows:
1. Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the starches and sugar that provided the body with most of its energy. There are
two kinds of carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates and complex. Both are important sources of energy
for the body. Simple carbohydrates are found in fruit, sugar, milk. Complex carbohydrates are found in
breads, cereals, dry beans, potatoes, and other starchy vegetables.
2. Protein
Protein is needed to build, repair, and maintain body cells and tissues particularly in the muscles.
They also provide energy. Proteins are especially important during childhood, adolescence, and other
period of growth, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, nuts, and dry beans are sources of protein.
3. Vitamins
Vitamins are substances needed in small quantities that help regular body functions, including helping
the body process other nutrients and fight infections.
4. Minerals
Minerals are elements needed in small quantities for sturdy bones and teeth, health blood, and
regulation of daily eliminations. Whole grains, fruits, peas, spinach, and milk are good source of minerals.

5. Fats
Fats are a source of energy and are essential for vital body function. They insulate the body from
temperature changes, cushion body organs, carry fat-soluble vitamins, and promote healthy skin and
normal growth. Excess fat is stored in the body as extra weight. Fat can be found in butter and margarine,
whole milk, egg yolks, most cheese, and salad dressing.
6. Water
Water is the most common nutrient, making up about 60 percent of the body. It carries nutrients and
oxygen through the body, help digestion, removes wastes from the body, lubricates the joints, and keep
the body from overheating. You must constantly replace the water your body lose.
Keep this in Mind
A healthy diet provides the nutrients needed for growth and development.
Nutrients needed by our body:
1. Carbohydrates are the starches and sugar that provided the body with most of its energy
2. Protein is needed to build, repair, and maintain body cells and tissues particularly in the muscles.
3. Vitamins are substances needed in small quantities that help regular body functions, including helping
the body process other nutrients and fight infections.

Let’s dig deeper
The Food Guide Pyramid is a guideline to help in choosing what and how much food to eat in
each group in order to get nutrients a person needs. By choosing your wisely, the right amount of calories,
fat, cholesterol, sugar, or sodium is taken.
The food groups that constitute the Food Guide Pyramid are the following.
1. The Bread, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta Group
These foods make up the bread and cereal group. Food choice from this group should be whole
grain or enrich products.
2. The Vegetables Group and the Fruit Group.
The vegetables group and fruit group indicate a separation of the fruits and vegetables groups of the
basic food groups.
3. Milk, Yogart, and Cheese Group.
This group includes milk and dairy products. Children should have a total of three cups of milk or
the equivalent from this group daily. The serving may be divided into one-half cup portions in
consideration of children’s smaller appetites and capacity. Adults needed two cup of milk or the
equivalent a day.
4. Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nuts Group.
7 || Health 7
The recommended daily amount from this food group is two or more servings. The amount of food
in a serving varies with the age of the individual. Small children need and often will eat only one and onehalf in a serving, while the adult serving consists of two to three ounces of meat or equivalent.
5. Fat, Oils, and Sweet Group.
The tip of the pyramid is called fats, oils, and sweets group. Most items in the tip are condiments
or contribute no important nutrients. The purpose of the symbols is to teach that fat and sugar are found
in all food group. In general, the nutrient control of this group is low and the calorie content is high.
Dietary Guidelines
The Dietary Guidelines have come to serve as the basis for all nutrition information in the Philippines. The
Dietary Guidelines relate the food and behavior and their impact of health.
1. Eat variety foods.
Includes the selection from fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, poultry, fish, eggs and legumes, whole
–grain and enriched bread, cereals, and grain products.
2. Balance the food eaten with physical activity.
 To improve eating habits, eat slowly, prepare smaller portion and avoid seconds.
 To maintain ideal weight, increase physical activity, eat less fat and fewer fatty foods, eat less
sugar and fewer sweets, and avoid too much alcohol.
3. Choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
 Choose lean meat, fish, poultry, dry beans, and peas as the protein sources.
 Moderate the use of eggs and organ meat such as liver.
 Limit your intake of butter, cream, margarines, coconut oil, and foods made from such
products.
4. Eat foods with adequate starch and fiber.
 Substitute starches for fat and sugar. Selects foods that are good sources of fiber and starch
such as whole grain breads and cereals, fruits and vegetables, beans, peas, and nuts.
5. Choose a diet moderate in sugar.
 Use less of all sugars, including white sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, honey, and syrups.
 Choose fresh fruits or fruits canned without sugar or light syrup rather than heavy syrup.
6. Choose a diet moderate in salt and sodium.
 Learn to enjoy the unsalted flavor foods.
 Cook with only small amounts of added salt.
 Add little or no salt to food at the table.
 Limit your intake of salty foods.
Right Food for Adolescents
In choosing food, we should pay attention to certain substances in the food we eat and drink. These
substances are fiber, fat, cholesterol, sugar, salt, and caffeine.
1. Fiber is the fruit, vegetables, grains, and beans that your body cannot digest. Fiber is not a nutrient, but
it is important for digestion. Fiber helps keep your digestive system healthy.
2. Fats are needed in the diet for good health. But too much fat can lead to heart disease and other health
problems. Avoid fried foods that have a high fat content.
3. Cholesterol is fatly, was-like substances that helps your body produce the substances it needs. But large
amount of cholesterol in your body can build up blood vessels walls, which make it more difficult for blood
to flow can eventually lead to heart disease.
4. Sodium is a mineral found in salt. It is often added with prepared food, but eating too much sodium or
salty food can be unhealthy and may lead to high blood pressure.
5. Sugar includes white or brown sugar, raw sugar, corn syrup, honey, and molasses.
6. Caffeine is a chemical found in some plants that can make your heart beat faster. Many people drink
beverages with caffeine to help them remain alert. The amount of caffeine in coffee is greater than in tea
or soft drink.

Scientists have developed guidelines for the amount of nutrients to be eaten each day. These are called
the Recommendation Dietary Allowances (RDA)
No two people need exactly the same amount of nutrients. For examples, teens need more calcium than
adults for building growing bones. In addition to age, several other factors affect the amount needed of each type
of nutrients. A person should get enough of the nutrients he/she needs.
Nutrients need change throughout a lifetime. Four factors affect an individual’s nutrients needs.
1.

3.
4.
Age – teens need more nutrients than adults do for growth and activity.
Body size – Large people need more nutrients than smaller people do.
General health – Illness increases the amount needed of many nutrients.
Exercise – the more active one is, the more nutrients he/she needs
