Chapter 1: Why Food Matters

What Is Nutrition?

Nutrition is how food helps your body grow, move, and stay healthy.

Think of food as fuel for your body.

  • It gives you energy
  • It helps you grow taller and stronger
  • It keeps your brain working well

> Good food = a stronger, happier you

Why Food Matters

Food as Fuel ⚡

When you eat, your body changes food into energy.

You use this energy to:

  • Run, jump, and play sports
  • Think in school
  • Breathe and sleep

If you skip meals, you may feel:

  • Tired
  • Grumpy
  • Unable to focus
Why Food Matters

Everyday Examples

Food choices you make daily matter:

  • Picking water instead of soda
  • Choosing fruit instead of candy
  • Adding veggies to your plate

Small choices, repeated often, shape your health.

Key idea: You don’t need a “perfect” diet, just better choices most days.

Sometimes vs. Everyday Foods

Think of foods in two groups:

  • Everyday foods: fruit, veggies, whole grains, milk, beans, nuts
  • Sometimes foods: candy, chips, fries, soda

You can still enjoy “sometimes foods,” just not all the time.
