It is important to fill HALF of your plate with fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and provide our body the super power to fight off illness. For example, we know red fruits and vegetables are full of lycopene which can help prevent certain types of cancer. Our school garden will soon be full of colorful fruits and vegetables. Think of some of your favorite fruits and vegetables and different ways you might eat them.

Dairy contains nutrients that help build strong muscles, bones and teeth. Milk, yogurt and cheese are the three main types of dairy and provide calcium to keep our bodies strong. It is important to include a healthy amount of dairy in your daily meals. Did you know that low-fat chocolate milk is a perfect drink to enjoy after physical activity? Think of different types of dairy you eat every day. What are some of your favorites?
