NUTRITION
What is nutrition? Nutrition is about eating healthy food and balanced diet.
We choose this topic because we want to know what would help our peers, who are from poor background just like us and it is also part of Life Orientation. Healthy food and healthy mind!
We want to learn about:
- A healthy balanced menu
- Food groups in the pyramid
- What happens when the balance is wrong?
If we want our body and our mind to be healthy and to work well we need to feed them properly and exercise correctly. So we need to know what is good to eat and what is bad to eat.
