      Categorizing foods into food groups simplifies the selection of a balanced diet by ensuring that all essential nutrients are included in appropriate proportions. The three primary food groups and their functions in the body are:

      1. Carbohydrates: This group includes foods like grains, bread, rice, pasta, and starchy vegetables. Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy, providing fuel for daily activities and bodily functions. They are particularly important for brain function and muscle performance.

      2. Proteins: Foods in this group include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, and dairy products. Proteins are essential for building and repairing tissues, such as muscles, skin, and organs. They also play a vital role in the production of enzymes and hormones needed for various physiological processes.

      3. Fruits and Vegetables: This group encompasses a wide variety of plant-based foods rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Fruits and vegetables support overall health by providing essential vitamins (like vitamin C and folate), minerals (such as potassium and magnesium), and fiber, which aids digestion and helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.

      By understanding these food groups and their respective functions, individuals can create a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs, promotes health, and supports optimal bodily functions.
