Nutrition and Balanced diet education

Keep trying! Vegetables are plants that we eat to stay healthy - like carrots, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, or cucumbers. They grow in gardens and are full of vitamins. Think of your favorite veggie!

Actually, that's TRUE! Proteins are super important! They help build and repair your muscles, making you strong. That's why foods like chicken, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts are so important for growing kids like you!

Good try! The answer is GRAINS (also called carbohydrates)! Foods like bread, rice, pasta, oatmeal, and cereal give your body energy to run, play, and learn all day long. They're like fuel for your body!

Good thinking, but not quite! Different colored vegetables have different vitamins and nutrients. Red vegetables might help your heart, orange ones are good for your eyes, and green ones make you strong. Eating lots of colors means getting lots of different healthy benefits!

Oops! Actually, that's TRUE! Water is super important for your body! It helps you stay cool, carries nutrients to all parts of your body, and keeps you from getting dehydrated. Remember to drink water throughout the day!

Almost there! Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt have something special called calcium. Calcium makes your bones and teeth super strong! Think about the hard parts inside and outside your body.

Not quite, but good try! Half of your plate should be filled with fruits and vegetables! They're packed with vitamins and fiber. The other half should be split between grains and proteins. This is the secret to a perfectly balanced meal!

Nice try, but that's not it! When we eat a balanced diet with lots of healthy foods from all groups, our body gets everything it needs. This gives us energy to play, helps us think clearly, and keeps us from getting sick!

Not quite, buddy! While candy and chips taste yummy, they don't have all the nutrients your body needs to grow big and strong. A balanced diet includes fruits, veggies, grains, proteins, and dairy - not just sweets!

Oops! Not quite right, champ! A balanced diet needs foods from 5 different groups - fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy. Each group gives your body special powers to grow strong!

Not quite! There are five main food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. We need foods from all five groups to be healthy.

Actually, this is true! Milk, cheese, and yogurt are dairy products from cows. They have calcium that makes our bones and teeth strong.

Not quite right! These are treat foods with lots of sugar. We should only have them sometimes, not every day. Healthy foods help us grow strong!

Good effort! Vegetables give us vitamins and minerals. These are special nutrients that help our body stay healthy and fight germs.

Not quite! These are protein foods. Protein helps build strong muscles and makes you grow healthy and strong.
