variety of foods from each of the 5 food groups
every day

present in plants), that help your body stay
healthy.

daily food intake and should be encouraged at
every meal (including snack times). They provide
vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and
phytonutrients (nutrients naturally present in
plants) to help your body stay healthy.

make specialised chemicals such as haemoglobin

gym for an intense training session, even a brisk
afternoon walk has a positive impact on your
physical and mental health.
