The alimentary or nutritive pyramid represents the traditional Mediterranean diet in a schematic way. The basic aliments of the pyramid are those which are fundamental in our diet and for which our daily intake needs; as we go up the pyramid we find foods which contain a higher quantity energetical, to be consumed with major attention until we arrive at the peak of the pyramid where we find the fats and sweet foods for whose consumption should be limitated, there doesn’t exist “good” or “bad” foods but only the quantity consumed can really represent “good” or “bad”. The pyramid indicates clearly the variety and quantity considered to be “healthy”.
