Eat Healthy: MyPyramid

Holidays and Food go hand in hand. Great that you are enjoying your days but before 2006 knocks on your door, you'd probably try to make a new-year resolution of eating and living healthy. All of us know that nothing gives more pleasure than being and feeling healthy. Here we present a website that'll help you correct your food habit and decide on a better diet.

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides a useful website MyPyramid.gov where you will be able to know the amount of each food group you need daily. You need to enter your information like age, sex, activity level etc and you will be able to find out and receive a customized food guide.

You can receive an estimate of what and how much you need to eat and a detailed assessment of your food intake and physical activity level. This also will help you make smart choices from every food group, find your balance between food and physical activity, and get the most nutrition out of your calories.

The above-mentioned website is managed by the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, an organization of the U.S. Department of Agriculture which was established in 1994 to improve the nutrition and well-being of Americans. Toward this goal, the Center focuses its efforts
on two primary objectives—
1. Advance and promote dietary guidance for all Americans, and
2. Conduct applied research and analyses in nutrition and consumer economics.

The Center's core products to support its objectives are the following:
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, MyPyramid Food Guidance System, Healthy Eating Index, U.S. Food Plans, Nutrient Content of the U.S. Food Supply, Expenditures on Children by Families.
