What to Focus On

  • Proteins are body-building nutrients.
  • Carbohydrates and fats provide energy.
  • Vitamins and minerals keep us healthy.
  • A balanced diet includes all food groups.
  • The food pyramid guides us on how much to eat from each group.
  • We should eat more grains, fruits, and vegetables and less oil and sugar.
  • Deficiency diseases happen due to lack of nutrients.
  • Each disease is caused by the absence of a specific nutrient.
  • These diseases can be prevented by eating a balanced diet.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All fats are bad and should be completely avoided for good health.

Junk food gives energy, so it's good to eat when feeling tired.

Only proteins help in growth, so children should eat only pulses and eggs.
