If you have a long school day, remember to eat in your canteen
as there are many healthy choices available. Read on to learn how
you can make the best choices for your body. Here are six simple
steps to help you eat better every day:
1. Have breakfast. Students who have a good breakfast can
concentrate better and work better in class. Breakfast eaters also
have more energy.
Go for healthier choices like cereal with milk, cheese or egg
sandwich or fishball noodle soup.
2. During a break or after school make your snacks work for
you. Smart snack choice includes sandwiches, yoghurt, fresh fruit,
dried fruit or nuts. These items are much healthier than popular
snacks such as cookies, crisps, or chips.
3. For your body to work well in class and during active sport
you need water. So, remember to drink water regularly. Carry
a water bottle and take a sip every time you feel thirsty.
If you really want to drink something else, know that smart
choices are milk or unsweetened fruit juice.
4. When you order your meal, ask for one or two vegetable
dishes. If you are buying pasta, ask for more vegetables too.
5. Eat just enough. Do not buy more food than you need at the
canteen. Overeating can make you put on more weight.
