You Are What You Eat
How do you feel after eating a lot of sweets or junk food?
You likely feel tired. That's because these foods are not good for your body.
A lot of sugar can give you energy at first, but that feeling soon goes away and you may feel sleepy. Sugar is also bad for your teeth.
Junk food tastes good but it is full of fat, salt and sugar so it will make you tired, fat and sick.
When you get sick, does your mum or dad give you a cheeseburger or a bag of sweets to eat?
No! Of course not! Likely, they will make you healthy foods like soup or oatmeal to help you get better.
Drink up!
Most of your body is water! So drink up! It's good for every part of your body and if you don't get enough, you will feel sick and sleepy.
Drink 5-8 cups of liquids each day. You can drink water, juice, milk or clear soup.
Try not to have drinks with too much sugar, such as cola, chocolate milk or store-bought juice. Even fresh juice has a lot of sugar so try to have no more than one cup a day. Water is best.
People who eat healthy food look healthy!
Eat foods that give you a bright smile, strong body and glowing skin!
