It is important to eat food that is good for you. You need seven things in your food.

Cabohydrates give you energy. Potatoes and bread are rich in carbohydrates and so are sugar, pasta and rice.

You also need protein and fats. They give energy too. Meat, fish and other high-protein foods help you to grow.

The other four things you need are vitamins, minerals, fiber and of course water. There are many different vitamins. You need them for your eyes, bones, hair and skin. Minerals are good for your bones and teeth. Foods with fiber in them, like nuts and cereals, help to clean the inside of your body. Water does this too, so remember to drink lots of water every day.

It can be bad for you to eat lots of sweets and cakes. Some foods like burgers and chips, have a lot of fat and salt in them. This can be bad for your teeth, so don’t eat too many of them.
