The wheel of the food is a scheme that classifies the food in five groups:
Group 1 : regulatory food (fruit and vegetables). They contribute vitamins and minerals.
Group 2 : energetic food (bread, other cereals and potatoes). They contribute carbohydrates.
Group 3 : structural food (milk and derivatives). They contribute calcium and proteins.
Group 4 : structural food (meat, fish,eggs). They contribute proteins.
Group 5 : energetic food (food containing fats and food containing sugar). They contribute fats and carbohydrates.
A varied nourishment has to include food of all the groups of the wheel, in the adequate proportion.

Good Sofía! The food wheel helps us to know about the functions of the different foods we eat and what nutrients they provide, so we can feed better.
You can learn more about it following some of the links we have used in our lessons, and some others in "our links" on the top of the blog.
