Hi! I'm Kelly and I will show you how to eat healthy. This book that you're holding in your hands, is a guide that will help you with your diet! I think I have said enough... Let's start!!!

Food, it's very important for us. It helps us get energy all day. But we have to eat all types of food to get all different nutrients. Then we follow a balanced diet!

To have a balanced diet we have to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, because they are good for our health. But, we don't need a large amount of fat and sugar! If we start to eat a lot of these we might get fat.

What kind of substances does food contain?

Carbs

We can find carbs in bread and pastries in general. Carbs give us energy, but be careful, you shouldn't eat too much, because they can turn into fat!

Vitamins

We can find vitamins in fruit adn vegetables. Our body needs them to be healthy, strong and not get ill. We shouldn't avoid eating vitamins!!!

Proteins

We can find proteins in chicken, red meat, fish and eggs. Protein is essential for our muscles to grow and be strong!

Dairy

Milk, yoghurt and cheese are all part of the dairy family. They contain calcium which makes our bones grow and help us get tall!
