Nutrients for your Body

Balance your food choices

Don't eat too much of one thing.

You don't have to give up foods like hamburgers, french fries, and ice cream to eat healthfully.

You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat.

Your body needs nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat, and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron, and calcium from a variety of foods.


Stay in shape, get out with friends or family.

Being active is much more fun with friends or family.

Encourage others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week.
