HEALTHY FOOD - 1

Dear friends:

Do you know what food is? Why do we need to eat?

You know,  we need to grow.

Food gives us energy to keep us alive and make us grow.

The measure of energy is Calorie. We need certain amount of calories every day.

Anything you eat more than that is going to be stored in the body

and you get over weight.

Food provide us Nutrients - Carbohydrate, Protein, Fat, Fibers, Vitamins and Minerals.

Our main source of energy is carbohydrate.

Our rich source of energy is fat.

Protein makes up most of our part of the body.

To convert carbohydrate, protein and fat into energy and other compounds,

we need Enzymes.

Vitamins are part of our enzymes.

Our body also needs small amounts of different kinds of minerals.

Some in large quantity, some in traces.

Calcium, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Molybdenum are all very important minerals. 

Healthy food or balanced diet should include all of the nutrients in proper amounts.

Anything in excess is stored or wasted and cause problems.

Today's lesson is:

Eat healthy to stay healthy.

Any good food you eat in moderate amount is healthy habit.
