The human body has over 600 muscles!
Without them, we couldn’t move,
breathe, pump blood around our body or
digest our food. To build and repair
muscles, we need protein. We can find
this in foods like meat, fish and eggs.
The human skeleton has over 200 bones which
support and protect our body. Calcium in dairy
products like milk, cheese and yogurt keeps our
bones healthy.
The brain commands our nervous system and controls
our behaviour. It uses 20% of the energy from the food
we eat! The brain needs green vegetables, healthy fats,
such as those in oily fish, and carbohydrates like
cereals, bread and pasta.
Our skin is the natural
covering of our body. It
protects us and gives us
our sense of touch. Foods
that are very good for our
skin include fruit and
vegetables, nuts, cereals
and oily fish.
