Content :

It is good that we make good healthy food choices as we  are what we eat . Sugary candies or juice are not good for our bodies . We must always eat a lot of fruits and vegetables . We must also make sure that we drink a lot of water . An apple a day keeps the doctor away . We must not eat junk fast foods that are actually not nutritional or good for our bodies .

It is important to eat good food in order to be healthy and fit. Everything they eat shows on how they look, how they reason, how they behave, how they do things. So, the food we eat does not only help our internal organs to work well, they also help our outer body. If you eat good food, your skin will look good.

Let them know that it is not every food that is healthy for them. Make them understand that the quality of food they eat is what will determine how they look, their behaviour, their intelligence and their overall life.

If they eat well, they grow well. If they eat well, they will not fall sick.

If they eat well, they grow well. If they eat well, they will not fall sick.

If we do not eat well , we may not grow well .

What will happen if you eat healthy food?

I will grow very well

I will have enough energy To do all my work
