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:
- Grow strong and tall
- Have energy to play and learn
- Fight off sicknesses like colds and flu
- Keep our teeth and bones strong
- Focus and think clearly in school
So, eat a variety of foods to keep your body running like a well-oiled machine.
