FOOD
Your body needs five things:
Carbohydrates,protein,fibre,vitamins and
minerals…
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of both healthy
and unhealthy foods (bread, beans, milk, popcorn,
potatoes, cookies…) They also come in a variety of forms.
The most common and abundant forms are sugars,
fibers, and starches.
Foods high in carbohydrates are an important part of a
healthy diet. Carbohydrates provide the body with
glucose, which is converted to energy used to support
bodily functions and physical activity.
Protein
Protein builds, maintains, and replaces the tissues in your
body.
Your muscles, your organs, and your immune system are
made up mostly of protein.
The best sources are beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy
products, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
Fibre
Fibre is found in cereals, fruits and vegetables.
The main role of fibre is to keep the digestive system
healthy.
Fibre is even more important for older people. The
digestive system slows down with age, so a high-fibre
diet becomes even more important.
Vitamins
Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow
and develop normally. There are 13 vitamins your body
needs.
They are: 1. Vitamin A
2. B vitamins
3. Vitamin C
4. Vitamin D
5. Vitamin E
6. Vitamin K
Minerals
Minerals are important for your body to stay
healthy. Your body uses minerals for many
different jobs, including building bones, making
hormones and regulating your heartbeat.
Sugar
Sugar isn't bad for you. It's carbohydrate and so it gives
you energy. However, you shouldn't eat a lot of it.
Firstly,sugar contains a lot of calories.
Secondly, sugar contains no vitamins or minerals,so it's
better to eat fruits. Fruits contains sugar, but you get the
vitamins and minerals, too.
