Balance Diet for the specific people is recommended by using food groups accordingly to anthropometric measurement and type of works. Food from the lower levels of the food pyramid should be consumed in bigger portions than food from the higher levels. From top to bottom, the six levels correspond to the following dietary groups on top to bottom are: sweets, salty snacks, and sweetened or alcoholic beverages, Oils, fats, and nuts; milk, dairy products, meat, fish, and eggs; fruit and vegetables, whole grain products and pulses; other cereals and potatoes.
