Grade 1 · Unit 1: Being alive

Healthy food and drink

Good food helps you grow strong.

Rice, dal and vegetables help us grow strong.

Food for growing

You need food to grow and play. Rice, fish, eggs and dal help you grow strong. Drink lots of clean water.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables come from plants. They are full of good things for your body. Try to eat some every day.

Only sometimes

Sweets have lots of sugar. Chips have lots of fat and salt. Too much of these is not healthy. They are a treat, only sometimes.

My healthy plate

Half your plate: fruit and vegetables. Some rice or roti for energy. Some fish, egg, meat or dal to grow.
