Your body is like a machine
What does good nutrition mean? Does it mean never eating a candy bar or potato chips? Of course not. The trick is to give your body the right fuel to help you to grow and stay healthy.
What foods are the best fuel for your body?
- Vegetables
- Fruits
- Meat, Chicken, Fish, Dry Beans, Nuts
- Eggs
- Breads, Cereal, Rice and Pasta
- Milk, Yogurt and Cheese
Cookies and chips taste good, but they don't help your body grow, work and play. Fill up your "tank" with the "fuel" foods first!
Activity
Make a list of your favorite fruits and vegetables that match up with
these colors: red, green, yellow, orange, and purple. Choose a fruit and
vegetable from each color group every day.
