Why is nutrition important?

1.1  Food Memories

⇒  Write down what you remember most about food from your childhood (good or bad!)

We need to fuel our bodies properly if we want to be physically and mentally fit and healthy.  You have probably been encouraged to eat healthily by your elders since you were a child.  Perhaps they told you that some foods would make you grow stronger, taller or smarter.

Napoleon, one of the world’s most well-known 17th century military leaders, strongly believed that “an army marches on its stomach”.  Just like soldiers, we all perform at our best when we are well fed.
