Healthy Eating Tips
Eat smart - what you eat and how much you eat are important. Food is the fuel for your body. Without the right food, your body just can’t work well. And too much or too little food are both bad. Too little food and you run out of energy. Too much food and you are carrying around an extra load - it slows you down.

By eating right and being active, you can be healthy and achieve your dreams.
