๐ Topic Summary
Eating healthy is all about balance! Some foods, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are great for our bodies and should be eaten every day. These give us energy and help us grow. Other foods, like candy, soda, and fried snacks, are okay to eat sometimes, but not every day. These 'sometimes' foods are often high in sugar or fat and don't give us as many nutrients. Learning to sort foods helps us make healthy choices!
This worksheet will help you learn to tell the difference between foods we should eat every day and foods we should only eat sometimes. Get ready to sort!
