Breakfast cereal, bread, potatoes, pasta and rice give us energy to get up and go –
GO foods
All of these foods contain the nutrient carbohydrate which provides our bodies with
energy needed to run, swim, jump and cycle, as well as B vitamins, which help convert
food into the energy needed by our muscles.
Milk, cheese, yogurt, chicken, fish, eggs and baked beans help us grow strong
bones and muscles – ‘Grow’ foods
All of these GROW foods contain protein, a nutrient which is important when you are
growing or when you need to repair a wound or injury. Foods that help build strong
bones also contain calcium, whereas other ‘Grow’ foods provide us with iron which is
important to keep our blood healthy.
Apples, bananas, grapes, pure fruit juice, raisins, broccoli, carrots, peas, sweetcorn
and tomatoes help us feel good and fight illnesses – ‘Glow’ foods
Fruit and vegetables are important for everyone. Fresh, dried, tinned or cooked from
frozen – they are all great choices! This group contains nutrients such as Vitamin C,
Vitamin E and minerals like potassium ‐ important for fighting off coughs and colds
as well protecting your heart from damage and disease.
