Why is nutrition important?
Why nutrition is important. Eating a balanced diet is vital for good health and wellbeing. Food provides our bodies with the energy, protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals to live, grow and function properly. We need a wide variety of different foods to provide the right amounts of nutrients for good health.
At Leaps N Bounds Academy we want our children to be provided a good and nutritious meal. Food can be fun! We teach the four food groups and why it is important to eat a well balanced meal. This teaching is at a level of understanding depending on the age of the child.
