Eating right The POWERFUL PLATE
An apple a day has always been good advice
adding at least five to ten servings of fruits
and vegetables every day is an even better idea
not just for adults, but for the little ones too.
Heres how to create a more powerful plate for
the whole family by placing the emphasis on
colorful plant-based foods.
VegetablesHalf of the plate should be for
vegetables. A big variety of color will help you
to have a good intake of nutrients and vitamins
that are essential to the body.

muscles. Also a healthy breakfast that includes
protein has been shown to improve concentration
and learning during the day.

and constipation.
Dairy Dairy foods supply three of the five
"nutrients of concern" for which children have

school age children should consume about 3 cups
of milk or equivalent dairy products each day.
