CARBOHYDRATES AND FATS: Carbohydrates give our body energy. Fats are bad if you eat too much, but our body needs some. Flour, cereals and potatoes contain carbohydrates. Oil and butter contain fats.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS: They help our body to control its functions and defend itself against illness. Vegetables and fruit contain vitamins and minerals.

WATER: Our body needs water to survive. Without it, our body becomes dehydrated and eventually dies.

Our diet is the combination of the different foods and drinks we consume every day. Everybody needs a different diet, depending on their age and their physical activity. Children need more protein and carbohydrates than an elderly person. A marathon runner needs more energy than someone who works in an office.
