Title: Healthy Food, Happy Body: How to Make Good Food Choices

Hey kids, today let’s talk about making good food choices to keep our bodies healthy and happy! Why is it important to eat healthy? Well, our body needs a variety of vitamins and nutrients to keep it strong and healthy. Eating junk food all the time can make us feel sluggish, tired, and can make it harder for our bodies to fight off sickness.

So, what should we eat? First, let’s talk about fruits and vegetables. They come in all different colors and flavors and are full of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. Try to eat a variety of them every day. For example, you can have an apple for a snack, add carrots to your lunch, and have some green beans with dinner.

Next, let’s talk about whole grains. These are foods like brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread. They give our bodies the energy we need to play, learn, and grow. They’re also full of fiber which helps us have healthy tummies!

Now, let’s talk about protein. Protein is important for building muscles and helping our bodies grow strong. Good sources of protein include beans, nuts, fish, and chicken.

Lastly, let’s talk about sweets and snacks. It’s okay to have a treat every once in a while, but it’s important to not fill up on them all the time. Instead, choose healthier snacks like fruit, popcorn, or yogurt.

God gave us these amazing bodies, and it’s our job to take care of them! Eating healthy foods is just one way we can show God that we appreciate the bodies He’s given us. So, let’s commit to making good food choices and keeping our bodies healthy and happy!
