Plants make their own food from sunlight, but people cannot, so we must eat food to grow and stay healthy. A balanced meal mixes different food groups: fruit, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy.
In the picture
- Fruit and vegetables: vitamins and fibre that keep your body working well
- Grains like rice and bread: energy to run, play and think
- Protein like fish and beans: helps build strong muscles
- Dairy like yogurt: calcium for strong bones and teeth
Examples
- Breakfast of porridge with banana slices and a glass of milk
- A lunch box with a cheese sandwich, cherry tomatoes and an apple
Key takeaways
- People cannot make their own food, so we need to eat a variety of foods
- A healthy plate has fruit, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy
