Mediterranean food pyramid is an instrument that teaches us how often we should eat food in our ways, and in ways that contribute to a healthy diet.
The base is composed of foods in our diet that are high in carbohydrates (complex sugars): at least 50% of the total energy of our diet should be composed of this nutrient. The role of carbohydrates is essentially energy, so they have to be consumed mostly between breakfast and lunch, being less important and recommended for dinner.
Thus, these foods are: bread, cereals, pasta, rice and tubers. Of course, not every day can consume all of them, but you can make a weekly distribution. So one day take pasta, rice another, another potato, ... but in any case it is very important the consumption of bread and cereals in every shot, though not in equal amounts.
Later will detail the other components of the pyramid. This pyramid designed by the Spanish Society of Community Nutrition is a good tool that can guide us in the home, when consider such elementary things such as the bread is very healthy meals.
It may be useful to print the pyramid and place it in a prominent place in the kitchen.
