Health tips for kids


Food is Fun… Enjoy your food:
Sharing a meal with family and friends at home or at school is a great way to enjoy food.

Eat lots of different foods every day, variety is the method for health:
You need over 40 different kinds of vitamins and minerals every day for good health. Since there is no single food that contains them all, it is important to balance your daily choices.  The best way to make sure you get the right balance is to eat a wide variety of foods each day.

Eat fruits and vegetables with each meal and as tasty snacks:
Fruits and vegetables are among the most important foods for giving us enough vitamins, minerals and fibre. We should all try to eat 5 servings a day. For example, a glass of fruit juice at breakfast, perhaps an apple and banana as snacks and two vegetables at meal times then you have already reached your total.

Drink plenty of liquids:
you need at least 5 glasses of liquids a day. It is particulary important if the weather is very hot or if you have done lots of exercise, to have plenty to drink to prevent dehydration.  You feel thirsty, You have drink bottled water, fruit juices, tea, soft drinks, milk too...
