What is the food pyramid?
• The food pyramid is the
daily food guide
recommended by the
USDA.
• The guide shows us what
foods we need each day
and in what proportions,
or amounts.
• We need the right
amounts of good food to
keep our bodies healthy
so we are able to play and
work at our best.
Why are some stripes on the
pyramid wider than others?
• Some stripes on
the pyramid are
wider than
others.
• The different
sizes remind you
to choose more
food from the
food groups
with the wider
stripes.
What will happen if we eat
healthy and exercise regularly?
• If we eat healthy
and exercise
regularly, our organs
and body systems
will work to the best
of their abilities.
What are organs?
• Organs are body parts that do
particular jobs.
What do groups of organs form?
• Groups of
organs that
work
together
form
systems.
What are the main parts of the
skeletal system?
• The main parts
of the skeletal
system are the
bones and
joints.
What is the job of the skeletal
system?
• The job of the skeletal system is to
support the body, protect organs, and
help body parts move.
What do bones do?
• Bones give your body shape.
Describe two types of joints.
• Your bones meet at joints.
• Some joints open and close
as the hinge of a door does.
Your knees work this way.
• Other joints let a bone
move in many directions.
Your shoulder works this
way. (ball and socket)
How does calcium help bones?
• Calcium helps bones grow and makes
them strong. Dairy products like milk,
cheese, and yogurt contain calcium.
What are the main parts of the
muscular system?
• The main parts of the muscular system
are striated, smooth, and cardiac
muscles.
What is the job of the muscular
system?
• The job of
the muscular
system is to
move body
parts.
How do cardiac muscles work?
• Cardiac muscles work automaticallywithout you thinking about it.
What does exercise do for your
muscles?
• Exercise makes your muscles stronger
and larger.
What do the carbohydrates
found in food do?
• Carbohydrates provide
your body with energy.
• The best sources of
carbohydrates—whole
grains, vegetables, fruits
and beans—promote good
health by delivering
vitamins, minerals, fiber,
and a host of important
nutrients.
What does warming up prevent?
• Warming up by moving
all your big muscles for
five to ten minutes
before you exercise
helps prevent injury or
pain.
What is the difference between
good fats and bad fats found in
food.
• The fact on “fats” is: we all need fats.
Fat helps nutrient absorptions well as
many other things.
• However, when consumed in excessive
amount, fats contribute to weight gain,
heart disease and certain types of
cancer. The key is to replace bad fats
with good fats in our diet.
• Good fats are found in foods such as:
nuts and olive oil
• Bad fats are often found in packaged
foods or foods fried in vegetable oils;
such as: French fries and bacon
