HEALTHY
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.
