1.Why we need food?

2.What`s in food?

3.What foods do for you?

4.The main vitamins and minerals you need.

*:::WHY WE NEED FOOD???:::

1.For growth and repair:
Your body grows by forming new cells.You also need new cells to replace dead ones.Cells are built from substances in food.

2.For energy:
You need energy to work your muscles,and all other organs.The energy in food is measured in calories or in kilojoules.

3.To stay healthy:
You need vitamins and minerals in food.Gums are destroyed if you don`t get vitamin C.

*:::What`s in food?:

Food contains a mixture of substances.The main ones are proteins,carbohydrates,fats,oils,vitamins,minerals,fibre, and water.

*:::What foods do for you?:::

Carbohydrates give energy.Sugar and starch are two types of carbohydrate.

Dietary fibre cannot be digested,but it prevents constipation.

Proteins are body-building foods,which are needed for growth and repair.

Fats and oils give twice as much energy as other foods,which are stored for warmth and future use.
