Briefly describe the point of this lesson, which is that the

good nutrition and health.
Food guide
The Philippines uses the daily nutritional guide pyramid
and has developed pyramids for different population
groups. The pyramid is divided into levels of
recommended consumption. Messages about exercise
and personal and environmental hygiene serve as
support messages for the pyramid.
The healthy food plate for Filipino adults (Pinggang
Pinoy) completes the messages of the pyramid by
showing adequate distribution of nutritious foods in a
meal.
