The key to healthy eating is the right combination of food
as demonstrated by the pyramid (right). Complex carbohydrates
should form the cornerstone of the diet, with five portions
being consumed daily. i.e. a portion of either rice, pasta
cereals, bread and legumes.

Five portions of fruits and vegetables should also be eaten
daily. Milk and milk products, (three portions a day) are
also of fundamental importance to healthy eating. Fish, meat,
poultry and eggs, on the other hand, should be eaten only
two-three times a week.

At the top of the pyramid, fats, sweets and alcohol should be
consumed only in very small quantities.
