FOODS

Everyone needs food to live and grow. Food is classified into four major groups. These include carbohydrates, proteins, fats and vitamins. If you eat food from only one group, you will not grow the way you are supposed to grow. You should eat a balanced diet in order to grow well. A balanced diet involves eating meals that contain all the food groups. This is because all the food groups have different functions in our bodies.

Carbohydrates are energy-giving foods. Examples of these include bread, grains, rice, cassava and sugar.

Proteins are body-building foods. They are the main components of the cells in our body. They are responsible for repairing body tissues. Examples of proteins include meat, beans or eggs.

Fats keep our bodies warm. We can get fats from high fat meat, full fat dairy products, nuts and avocado.

Vitamins boost our immunity, strengthen our bones, heal wounds and improve our eyesight. We get vitamins from fruits and vegetables.

Water helps our bodies maintain body temperature and transports nutrients to the whole body. It also assists in removing waste products from the body. We get water in our bodies by drinking water, eating soup, and eating fruits like watermelon.
