Grades 3, 4 and 5 - Science - Elementary School - Healthy Eating — Flashcards

Healthy eating is about the balanced diet your body needs to keep it in good condition. We all know that eating things like potato chips, chocolate, candies and soft drinks alone would be bad nutrition and would not make up a healthy diet. They're ok in small amounts but we need other things - fruit and vegetables, proteins, vitamins and minerals for example - in a balanced diet. It's important that we eat a variety of foods to get all of the nutrients we need to stay healthy.
