Topics: Healthy Eating

Introduction:

Food is a basic necessity. The food and drink we eat fuels our body with the nutrients it needs to perform its daily functions. The body’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients from the food we consume determines our capacity to maintain health.

No single food can provide all the essential nutrients that the body needs, so it is important to consume a wide variety of foods to provide a well-balanced diet. We should try to eat from each food group.
