Healthy Body

Eating healthy foods, you need to eat food rich in calcium, proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins. Eating healthy foods especially when you are still growing is important because it makes you stronger. Starving your body of important nutrients causes your bones to stop growing. It can also make you feel bad!

Drink your milk. Eating and drinking food rich in calcium, a substance found in dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt, is an excellent way to keep your bones and teeth strong and healthy. Bone matter is partly made up of calcium. So calcium-rich foods help the body improve your bones and encourage bone growth. That means that chocolate milk is actually good for your bones. (Just brush your teeth after drinking to get rid of any sugar build-up!) Research has shown that having healthy bones as kids play a big role in preventing bones diseases, life osteoporosis.

Have a sound sleep. Sleep helps the body and brain develop and grow. You can do better when you get enough good sleep. Kids like you need 10 to 11 hours of sleep each night.
