What is nutritious?

Nutritious means something that gives your body energy and helps it grow strong, like a supercharged snack.

Imagine your body is like a toy car, when you feed it the right stuff, it zooms around all day. If you give it nutritious food, it’s like giving it extra batteries and a turbo boost!

Nutrients are like tiny helpers inside food that do special jobs for your body. For example:

• Fruits have vitamins, think of them as little workers who help your skin stay shiny and your muscles feel happy.
• Proteins, found in eggs and meat, are like builders that help your body grow and repair itself after a long day of playing.

When you eat nutritious food, it’s like giving your body the tools it needs to be strong and healthy. Just like a well-built toy car can go farther and faster, your body can run, jump, and play all day long, no need for naps!
