Health Tips For children s students

Enjoy your food
Sharing a meal with family and friends at home or at school is a great way to enjoy food. It is fun to  see other people's choice of food - what do your friends eat? Do you try different foods every day? Check out your lunch box or dinner plate. How many different kinds of fruit and vegetables can you spot?


 Breakfast is a very important meal
Just like cars , buses and trains cannot run without fuel, our bodies need energy to work. Especially after a night's  sleep, energy levels are low, So, whether you are off to school, or out and about at the weekend, start the day with breakfast. Plenty of carbohydrates is just the ticket. try toast or bread, or cereal with milk , fruit or yoghurt.

Eat different foods every day, variety is the recipe for health

you need over 40 different nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) every day for good health. Since there is no single food that contains them all, it is important  to balance your daily choices. In fact there are no good or bad foods, so you do not need to miss out on the foods you enjoy. The best way to make sure you get the right balance is to eat a wide variety of foods each day.

Base your food on carbohydrates

About half the calories in your diet should come from carbohydrate foods, such as cereals, rice , pasta, potatoes and bread, so it is a good idea to include at least one of these at every meal. Try whole grain bread? it's good fun and smells wonderful!

Eat fruits and vegetables with each meal
Fruits and vegetables are amoung the most important foods for giving us enough vitamins, minerals and fibre. We should all try to eat at least 5 serving a day. For example, a glass of fruit juice at breakfast, perhaps and apple and banana as snacks and two vegetables at meal times. Then you have already reached your total. How many different kinds can you spot in the supermarket? Why not try some new ones?

Be active every day

Just like a bike become rusty if it is not used for some time, our muscles and bones need to be kept moving too. Activity is needed to keep your heart healthy and your bones strong. It can also be good fun. Try to include some form of activity every day: it may be just walking to school and running up the  stairs. However, games  like skipping and football at break times are good for giving the body a workout. Swimming is a particularly good  sport for keeping you healthy.
