A Kid’s Guide to Healthy Eating

Food keeps you alive, healthy and strong. It gives you energy and makes you grow. But where does food come from?
There are many types of food, some come from farms where it is grown. Some come from animals, either produced by animals or the animal itself. Some foods are manufactured (made in factories).

Food is broken down by your body in a process called digestion. Food goes from your mouth, into your stomach, through your intestines and then any waste not absorbed by your body goes out of your body!

Calories are how energy from food is measured. Calories are not bad, they are what is needed to fuel your body. A balance of the right foods to build the energy, and exercise to burn off the extra will keep you healthy.

In this unit study you can follow along through a day of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks and learn how to make healthy food choices! It will help you recognize different types of foods like proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamin rich foods. Throughout the learning are various activities to help you have fun!
