What are the basic needs of our body?

● The basic needs of our body are categorized into: Basic

Needs and Physiological Needs

● The basic needs of the body include:

1. Food 2. Clothing 3. Shelter

● Food, shelter and clothing are the most basic needs of every
person. We need nutritious food to grow strong and healthy.

● These foods are categorized into: Go, Grow and Glow foods.

● GO FOODS also known as “ENERGY –GIVING FOODS

Go foods give us energy to run, work and play all day.
Examples of go foods are: rice, bread, root crops, cereals
and other grains.
● GROW FOODS also known as “BODY-BUILDING FOODS”
Grow foods help us to grow big and strong by enhancing
growth and development. Examples of grow foods are: milk,
cheese, fish, beans, and other meat foods.

● GLOW FOODS also known as “BODY-REGULATING

FOODS”
Glow foods contain vitamins and minerals that help our
skin to glow, our hair to shine, and our eyes to sparkle.
Examples of glow foods are: vegetables and fruits
● A SHELTER, our home can protect us from any harm or
danger. We need a shelter where we can live and stay safe.

● Comfortable CLOTHES
We need comfortable clothes to keep us warm and protect
ourselves from cold and heat

● Clean and safe water is also needed by our body. Eight to

twelve glasses of water per day enable us to maintain our
body temperature and keep us hydrated.

What are the physiological needs of our body?

The physiological needs of our body include:

1. Sufficient rest and enough sleep

2. Fresh air and clean water
3. Enough exercise
4. Love and care

● We also need clean and fresh air in order to breath, and

sufficient rest and sleep. Eight to ten of hours a day is
recommended to keep our body strong and healthy. These
are physiological needs.

● Above all, we need love and care by our family.
