📖 Let Us Begin!

We eat food every day. Food gives us energy to play, study, and grow.

There are many types of food. Some food is very good for our body. Some food is not so good if we eat too much of it.

Let us learn about the food we eat!

Types of Food

Food groups on a plate — grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, pulses

Type	Examples	Good For
Fruits	Mango, banana, apple, orange, guava	Give us vitamins. Keep us healthy.
Vegetables	Spinach, carrot, potato, tomato, peas	Give us vitamins and minerals. Make us strong.
Grains	Rice, wheat (roti), dal, bread	Give us energy to work and play.
Dairy	Milk, curd, butter, paneer, ghee	Make our bones and teeth strong.
Pulses	Dal, rajma, chana, moong	Help our body grow and repair.

Meena eats rice, dal, sabzi, and curd for lunch. She is eating grains, pulses, vegetables, and dairy. This is a healthy meal!

Healthy Food and Junk Food

Healthy food is good for our body. It helps us grow, stay strong, and feel well.

Examples of healthy food: fruits, vegetables, dal, milk, roti, rice, eggs.

Junk food has too much oil, sugar, or salt. It is tasty but not good if we eat it every day.

Examples of junk food: chips, cold drinks, chocolates, fried snacks, biscuits.

Arjun loves chips and cold drinks. His mother says, "Eat fruits and milk too! Junk food is okay sometimes, but not every day."

Where Does Our Food Come From?

Source	Foods We Get
Plants	Fruits (mango, banana, apple), Vegetables (potato, tomato, spinach), Grains (rice, wheat), Pulses (dal, rajma)
Animals	Milk (from cow/buffalo), Eggs (from hen), Honey (from bees)

Most of our food comes from plants! Roti is made from wheat. Rice comes from the rice plant. Dal comes from pulses. Even the vegetables in our sabzi are plants!

Healthy Eating Habits

Eat breakfast every day — it gives energy for school.
Eat fruits and vegetables — they give vitamins and keep us healthy.
Drink 6–8 glasses of water — water keeps our body working well.
Avoid too much junk food — chips, cold drinks, and chocolates are okay sometimes but not every day.
Eat at regular times — breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time each day.
Wash hands before eating — removes germs and keeps us safe from illness.

Our Meal Times

Breakfast (morning): Idli, poha, paratha, bread, milk, banana.

Lunch (afternoon): Rice, dal, sabzi, roti, curd, salad.

Dinner (evening/night): Roti, dal, sabzi, khichdi.

We should also drink plenty of water throughout the day.
