What you eat determines how well your body functions. The more healthful your diet is, the more energy you will have, and the better your organs (like your heart and lungs) will work. Good eating habits will help you develop strong muscles, healthy skin, and an active immune system to defend your body from sickness.

Health and Nutrition

Did you know that fat-free milk contains the same nutritional value as whole milk? That’s great to know. That means that you can have the lower-calorie versions of your favorite dairy treats without losing the vitamins and minerals that help make you strong. So try the light and low-fat varieties; you may not even notice a difference, and your body will thank you.

Health and Nutrition

Proper nutrition can help you stay healthy. Vitamins C and E are found in many foods and can help your body defend itself against colds. Foods like broccoli, oranges, mangos, red peppers, nuts, spinach, and kiwi, to name a few, contain a lot of Vitamins C and E. As the fall approaches, be sure to eat many varieties of fruits and vegetables to keep your body and mind strong.
