Healthy Food

Eating is fun, especially when you are hungry. Most people have a favourite food.
Some people enjoy eating sweet things like cakes, chocolates and ice cream. Other
people enjoy savoury foods like cheese and meet. Enjoying eating is our body’s
way of making sure that is gets the things it needs to work properly.
Food helps us to keep warm, talk, run and do all the other things we do. It helps us
to grow and stay healthy.
Vitamins also help us to be healthy. Scientists name vitamins after the alphabet.
All of them are very important, for example: vitamin C keeps our skin and gums
healthy. It is found in fresh fruit and green vegetables, such as oranges,
blackcurrants, lettuce. Brussels sprouts and spinach also contain a lot of vitamin C.
Vitamin D helps our bones to grow strong and hard, and we are able to make it for
ourselves if our skin gets enough sunlight. But we can also get vitamin D if we eat
fish, milk, butter, cheese and margarine. Some people buy pills and tablets
containing vitamins. But most of us get more than enough of them from our food.
