EAT HEALTHY!

HEALTHY NUTRITION

The process of providing or ob-

taining the food necessary for health

and growth.

Protein is a macronutrient that

builds and maintains muscle and

body tissue (eggs, milk, fish and sea

foods, chicken, soya, nuts and

seeds, beans).

Carbohydrates are a source of

energy for the body (whole grains,

fruit, and vegetables).

Fat is an important part of a

healthy diet. People especially little

kids, need fat in their diets so the

brain and nervous system develop

correctly (butter, oil, nuts, meat,

fish).

Minerals help your body grow,

develop, and stay healthy.

Vitamins are substances that

your body needs to grow and devel-

op normally.

Water is a nutrient all its own,

helping every cell in your body func-

tion properly.
