It is important that our bodies get the proper nutrition that they need everyday in order to function the right way. The kinds of food we need come from different food groups. Each food group provides different nutrients & these nutrients have different jobs in keeping us healthy & strong.
Our bodies are amazing machines that break down our food and send the nutrients to do their job. Our bodies also use the calories from the food we eat to give us energy. (But too many can make us fat!).
