Healthy eating is about the balanced diet your body needs to keep it in good condition. We all know that eating things like potato chips, chocolate, candies and soft drinks alone would be bad nutrition and would not make up a healthy diet. They're ok in small amounts but we need other things - fruit and vegetables, proteins, vitamins and minerals for example - in a balanced diet. It's important that we eat a variety of foods to get all of the nutrients we need to stay healthy.

1.
Which of the following statements is true?
A balanced diet should not include anything sweet
Pasta and vegetables are enough to provide a balanced diet
A balanced diet must include carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, water and fiber
A balanced diet should not include any fats
Carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins, water, fiber and even fats are essential for a healthy body - sweet foods, in small amounts, can be included as part of a healthy diet, too
2.
Which of these meals would not provide a healthy balance?
Pasta baked with cheese and a tomato sauce, served with salad, followed by sliced oranges
Grilled chicken, salad and new potatoes, followed by yogurt and fruit
Vegetable stir-fry, followed by fruit salad and jelly
Baked salmon, vegetables and rice, followed by banana and ice cream
