• Food is essential for our growth.
• Food gives us energy to work and play.
• Food helps us to stay healthy and fight against diseases.

1. Energy-giving Foods
Rice, wheat, potatoes, buRer,
cheese and sugar are energy-giving
foods. These foods give us energy
to work, play and think. When we
do not have energy, we feel tired. Ener•gy-giving foods

Pulses, milk, flesh and eggs are
body- building foods. They help us
grow. They build our bones and
