Is eating whole grain pasta beneficial to health?
Flexi Says:
The number of meals can vary from 3 times to 5 times in a day depending upon the amount of nutrients intake. MyPyramid is a diagram that shows how much you should eat each day of foods from six different food groups. It recommends the number of nutrients you need based on your age, your gender, and your level of activity. Make at least half your daily grain choices whole grains. Examples of whole grains are whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat pasta, and brown rice. Choose a variety of different vegetables each day. Be sure to include both dark green vegetables, such as spinach and broccoli, and orange vegetables, such as carrots and sweet potatoes. Choose a variety of different fruits each day. Select mainly fresh fruits rather than canned fruits, and whole fruits instead of fruit juices. When choosing oils, choose unsaturated oils, such as olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil. Choose low-fat or fat-free milk and other dairy products. For example, select fat-free yogurt and low-fat cheese. For meats, choose fish, chicken, and lean cuts of beef. Also, be sure to include beans, nuts, and seeds.
