A car needs gasoline to make it go.
Gasoline is energy for the car. Your body
needs energy too. Your body gets energy
from food. Food gives you energy to
make your heart beat, your lungs breathe
and your muscles move. Your body also
needs food to help it grow.

Food has special things called
nutrients. These nutrients give your
body energy. These nutrients help your
body grow.

Milk has nutrients that build strong
bones. Milk builds strong teeth. Milk is
found in cheese and yogurt. It is a good
idea to get three servings of milk every day.

Vegetables and fruits have vitamins
that will help you stay healthy. Many
vegetables and fruits are also good for
digestion. Digestion is the way that food
breaks down in your body. Eat different
fruits and vegetables every day.

It is important to get a balance of these
foods every day. It is also important not to
eat too many
fatty foods. Eating
at fast food
restaurants every day
will not be healthy for
you. Too many sweet snacks are also
not good for you. Plan your meals so that
your body will have energy. Good food
keeps you healthy.
