Healthy Food Mind Map: Groups and Nutrients

A healthy food mind map organizes a balanced diet into its main parts. Most versions start with the food groups, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein and dairy. Each group then links to the nutrients it supplies, like fiber, vitamins, minerals and protein, along with simple guidance on portions and variety.

  • Food groups: the five core groups and what each provides
  • Macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and fats, and their roles
  • Micronutrients: vitamins and minerals found across food groups
  • Portions: practical serving sizes for everyday meals
  • Limits: added sugar, sodium and saturated fat to moderate

Use the map to review before a test or plan weekly meals. Then generate a personalized version with CogniGuide from your own notes or a nutrition PDF.
