1. Eat well, it's
fun ... enjoy your meal
Have
meals with the family at home or friends at school is a good way to enjoy their
meals. It
is interesting to observe what others eat: what does it on their plates? Are you trying to vary
your food each day? Look
at your plate: how many different fruits and vegetables do you see?
2.
Breakfast is a very important meal
Just
like cars, buses and trains can not run without fuel, our body needs energy to
function. Especially
after a night of sleep, when our energy reserves are low. So
whether a school day or rest, start your day with a good breakfast. A
healthy dose of carbohydrates, that is exactly what you need; try
a grilled sandwich or a slice of bread or cereal with milk, fruit or yoghurt.
3. Varies daily food. The
secret of good health: a varied diet
To
be healthy, you have to consume over 40 nutrients (such as vitamins and
minerals) each day. No
food contains them all; so
it is very important to vary your daily diet. There are no good or
bad foods; you are
therefore not obliged to deprive you of what you love. The
best way to have a balanced diet is to have a varied diet throughout the day.
4. The best source of
energy? Take carbohydrates
Generally,
we do not eat enough carbohydrates like cereals, rice, pasta, potatoes and
bread. Carbohydrates
should bring you about half the calories you need each day and it is important
to include at least one carbohydrate at each meal. Try
wholegrain bread, pasta and cereals for extra fiber intake. Have you ever tried to make bread?
It's
fun and plus it smells wonderful!
5. Give - me 5! Eat
fruits and vegetables at every meal and when you have the munchies!
It's
in leafy foods that we discover the vitamins, minerals and fiber that we are
crucial. We ought to all attempt to eat no less than 5 times each day. For
example, a glass of fruit juice at breakfast, two different vegetables at meals
and an apple or a banana for snack. So
you cover the needs for vitamins, minerals and fibre your body for the day. How
many varieties of fruit and vegetables can you find in your supermarket? Why
not try now?
6. And fat? Avoid eating too much fat
Eating
too much fatty foods like butter, spreads, fried foods and pastries, although
they have very good taste, is not necessarily always good for your body. So
do not forget: lots of bread, but little fat spreads such as butter and
margarine! Our
bodies need fat for all nutrients, but do not exaggerate. So
if you had a little fat lunch, try to choose for dinner at homeless fatty
foods.
7. Eat
regularly and vary your snacks
Even
when taking his meals regularly, sometimes we have the "munchies",
especially after sports. So
snack is always welcome, but it should not replace a meal. It's just a little extra. There are many snacks. You
can choose to eat a yogurt, a serving of fresh fruit or dried fruit, vegetable
sticks like carrots or celery, unsalted nuts, rice cakes or maybe even a slice
of bread with dried fruit or a
slice of bread and cheese. Occasionally,
you can eventually make a difference and eating chips, chocolate bars, a piece
of cake or cookies. Whichever
you prefer, do not forget that the secret of a good balanced diet is variety.
8. Waterproof your thirst! Drink plenty!
Do
you know that more than half of your weight is water? Not
only our bodies need food but they also need at least 5 glasses of fluid a day.
Not
to dehydrate you, it is very important to drink and especially in hot weather
or in case of intense physical activity. Do
not wait until thirsty to drink because your body needs water well before you
have thirst. Natural
water be sure, but you can try the tap water or bottled mineral water, natural
or lightly flavored, carbonated or non-carbonated. Fruit
juices, tea, soft drinks, milk, and other beverages are fun too, provided you
do not abuse it.
9. Take care of our teeth! Brush your
teeth at least twice a day
Brush
your teeth at least twice daily. Eating
foods high in sugar or starch (carbohydrates) too often during the day can
contribute to tooth decay. Therefore
avoids snacking or drinking sugary drinks constantly. The
sugar-free chewing gum can help you keep healthy teeth. The
best way to keep a star smile remains to brush teeth twice a day with fluoride
toothpaste. Of
course, once your teeth brushed, do not eat and only drink water before going
to bed!
10. Move !! It
is important to have a physical activity every day
Just
like a bicycle rusts when you stop using it, our muscles and bones need to
move. Physical
activity keeps our heart healthy and keeps our bones strong. And this is yet
another way to have fun. Try
to include physical activity in your daily schedule if possible, going to
school on foot and up the stairs for example. Recess
games like jump rope or football are good for our bodies work. Swimming
is particularly good to be in top form.
