    Food keeps us healthy and helps us grow. Food provides us with energy to be
    able to function throughout the day. By eating a balanced diet, your body
    obtains the fuel and nutrients it needs to function properly. Your body needs
    minerals to make hormones, build bones and regulate your heartbeat. Water
    flushes out toxins, transports nutrients to cells and performs other vital bodily
    processes.

    CARBOHYDRATES

    Bread, rice and potatoes are examples of carbohydrate rich foods. These foods
    give us plenty of energy. You should try and eat a lot of carbohydrates each
    day. As well as energy, carbohydrates provide us with fibre, iron, B vitamins
    and calcium.

    Fruit AND VEGETABLES


    Fruit and vegetables provide us with vitamins and minerals essential for
    keeping us healthy as well as fibre which is important for digestion. A diet
    high in fibre can also reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke and some
    cancers. Try to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
    Remember that potatoes do not count as a portion of vegetables.

    1. Dairy products are great sources of protein


    and calcium and are found in milk, cheese and
    yogurt. Protein helps our bodies to grow or
    repair themselves. Protein builds, maintains,
    and replaces the tissues in your body. Your
    muscles, organs, and immune system are made
    up mostly of protein. Calcium helps to keep our
    bones and teeth strong. We should eat between
    two or three portions of dairy foods a day.
    HeAlthy EATIng
    MEAT, Fish, Eggs AND BEANS

    These foods are a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals in your
    diet. These foods help the body to grow and repair itself and keep hair, skin,
    muscles and nails strong. We should eat some of these foods a day.

    Foods High in FATS AND SugAR


    These foods provide the body with energy, warmth and insulation around vital
    organs. Too much fat in your diet can raise cholesterol, which increases the risk
    of heart disease. A small amount of fat is part of a healthy, balanced diet. Fat is
    a source of essential fatty acids such as omega-3 because the body can’t make
    them itself. Fat helps the body absorb vitamins A, D and E.

    To be healthy, nutritious food is needed to provide energy for the body. A variety
    of food is needed in the diet because different foods contain different substances
    that are needed to keep you healthy.
