Nutrition


MyPyramid.gov is a great website to learn about nutrition. It has a section for children as well.

It tells you what foods you are eating and if you are getting enough grains, fruits, vegetables, and so on. It allows you to keep track of you calorie intake by making a food journal. Nutrition is a vital part of a person's overall health. You cannot be healthy while consuming too many saturated fats and not enough nutrients. Children who learn about good eating habits at an early age are more likely to continue this pattern into adulthood.
