Food is essential. People take it for granted, but we need nutrients. Vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals are necessary to keep all the different parts of the body healthy and functioning - otherwise, we get sick.
Every little thing that you do happens because of the nutrients that you give your body. Food gives us the fuel to think and the energy to move our muscles. The micronutrients, the vitamins, the minerals are there so that our bodies can function. You need food not just to sustain health, but to feel better also.
Stick to water, milk and 100% fruit and vegetable juices as your main beverages and limit sugary soft drinks. If you get tired of plain water, add a slice of lemon or lime to add a touch of flavor. For kids, try some fruit juice jazzed up with carbonated water.
And the only way the body will get the many nutrients needed to stay healthy and function is by eating a wide variety of healthy foods.
So.. keep healthy..!!
