Eating right: The POWERFUL PLATE
An apple a day has always been good advice;
adding at least five to ten servings of fruits and
vegetables every day is an even better idea not just
for adults, but for the little ones too. Here’s how to
create a more powerful plate for the whole family by
placing the emphasis on colorful plant-based foods.

Vegetables
Half of the plate should be for vegetables. A big
variety of color will help you to have a good intake
of nutrients and vitamins that are essential to the
body.
CLEAR
WATER
Lean Protein
Helps to build and maintain healthy muscles. Also
a healthy breakfast that includes protein has been
shown to improve concentration and learning
during the day.

Whole Grains
Consuming whole grains as part of a healthy diet
may reduce the risk of heart disease and
constipation.
Dairy
Dairy foods supply three of the five "nutrients of concern" for which children have low intakes: calcium,
potassium and magnesium (the other two are vitamin E and fiber). Most school age children should
consume about 3 cups of milk or equivalent dairy products each day.
