Food is an important part of our life. There are five main nutrients
in the food we eat. They are Carbohydrates, Vitamins and Minerals,
Proteins and Fat. Cereals like rice and wheat and yams like sweet
potatoes and manioc have Carbohydrates, while foods like milk,
fish,
44
eggs, beans, dhal and gram have Proteins. Milk and dairy foods like
cheese, butter and yoghurt have fat while fresh vegetables and fruits
as well as green leaves have Vitamins and Minerals. These nutrients
are very important for us for many reasons. Carbohydrates and Fat
give us energy while Proteins help us grow. Vitamins and Minerals
are important to fight diseases and to protect our body. You should
drink plenty of clean water because it helps in digesting the food and
you should also stay away from fast or junk food because they are
harmful to our body. We have to eat healthy food for breakfast, lunch
and dinner and as all the Doctors say “To be healthy, we should have
our breakfast like a king and dinner like a beggar.”
A secret; The best food is what your mother prepares in her
