Eating well and staying clean

A healthy body needs a mix of foods, plenty of water and daily cleaning habits. How much food you need depends on your age and how active you are.

In the picture

  1. A plate with vegetables, fruit, grains and protein: a mix of foods gives the body what it needs
  2. A glass of water: the body needs plenty of water every day
  3. A bar of soap: washing hands with soap removes germs before eating
  4. A toothbrush with toothpaste: brushing teeth keeps them healthy

Examples

  • A child who plays football all afternoon needs more food and water than on a quiet day.
  • Washing your hands before dinner and brushing your teeth before bed.
