Fruit and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and trace minerals as well as phytohormones and fibers. All these ingedigents are important in human diet but are included less and less in modern diets. They are supposed to have been mainstays of human diet in the past but not any more. \nThis is the reason why the recommendations name them - to remind us to eat them

I think you should not avoid any kind of food but you will certainly do yourself good if you drink fresh fruit juices,skim milk and water often and if you eat things like potatoes,tomatoes,fresh fruits,grapefruit...\n\nDon't forget fish but choose those with less fat.\n\nOlive oil and sunflower oil to cook all this.. \n\nA moderate consumption of alcohol and coffee will also help.

Fruits and veggies are the healthiesat foods, and are a must-have in a healthy diet (or as part of a weight loss diet).  \n\nAs long as food is eaten in moderation..  A small handful of grapes, vs a crateful, for example.  Also eat them naturally: strawberries on their own, no sugar, no cream, ...\n\nIt's really more the question of what to avoid.  A balanced diet is important, and a nutritionist, or your family doctor, will surely recommend you a great healthy diet which will have all food groups in it (including pasta: a carbohydrate necessary for life).

Portion size is a good thing to take care off if you spilt up a normal sized plate half should be veg/salad, quater should be meat and the other quater should be carbs. Shouldn't have to pile up a plate with food either. Obvouisly calories are important too, no point breaking food into portions if one portion is 200 cals! \n\nMake sure you eat the right things and the portioning will be good enough. Website below where the calories of most foods are listed.\n\nExercise at leat 3 times a week as well.

First you need to figure out what your budget is for this.  I don't think you need to go full-out 5 course meal for your guests.  A nice dinner dish with a salad or side dish would be fine.  Whatever you do, I would recommend having at least two choices for people so everyone can find something they like.  I went to a wedding that served a salad, then a grilled chicken breast with veggies.  It was great, without be over-filling.  Remember, they will need to have room to have the cake! :)

What is wrong with the one you learned in school?\nThe five food groups, eight glasses of water a day.\nWe do not need special or what is called new/best diets.\n\nWe all learned ; dark green fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, red meat, fish, eight glasses of water per day and exercise.  Nature has not changed that!

5 words- THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU.\n\nWhy? I can just look it up on the wikipedia anyway.\n\nImportance of vegetables in the diet\nVegetables are eaten in a variety of ways as part of main meals and as snacks. The nutrient content of different types varies considerably. With the exception of pulses, vegetables provide little protein and fat. Vegetables contain water soluble vitamins like vitamin B and vitamin C, fat soluble vitamins including vitamin A and vitamin D, and also contain carbohydrates and minerals.
