A balanced diet is essential for our bodies because it provides the right amount of nutrients to keep us healthy and strong.

Imagine your body is like a car. Just like a car needs the right type of fuel to run smoothly, our bodies need the right mix of food to work properly.

A balanced diet includes foods from all groups like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and dairy. This helps us:

  1. Grow strong and tall
  2. Have energy to play and learn
  3. Fight off sicknesses like colds and flu
  4. Keep our teeth and bones strong
  5. Focus and think clearly in school

So, eat a variety of foods to keep your body running like a well-oiled machine.
