A balanced diet is an important factor to stay healthy. We must eat different types of food

because our bodies need a variety of nutrients.

rice, oats and potatoes contain carbohydrates.

We should also eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables contain a lot of vitamins,

minerals and fibre. It is recommended that we eat five servings of fruit and vegetables every day.
