collocates, ice-cream which should be had only occasionally.
Drink water and milk most often

you drink at least eight glasses of water every day.
Kids need calcium to grow strong bones and milk is a great source of this mineral. If you
are 8 years or so old you need each day about, 300 milligrams of milk. Soft drinks are not
a very good way to quench your thirst.
Always listen to your body
When you are eating notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels
comfortable full. Sometimes people eat too much because they do not notice when they
need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and over a period
of time, it can lead to unhealthy weight gain. Similarly, eating too less would make you
weak and you will not be energetic and active.
Be active
To remain fit is very important to do some physical activities regularly. Walk, bike
or jog to see friends. Take a few minutes activity break every hour while you read, do
homework or watch TV climb stairs instead of taking escalator or elevator.
When you run, jog or even dance, you breathe hard. It helps your heart pump better, give
you more energy and help you look and feel your best. Participate in physical activities in
school.

part in sports. It is a good exercise, teaches you to share, makes your mind healthy and
relaxed and also gives you confidence.

cycling, walking, trekking can be organized on a group basis. In this manner each of you
improves personally while having fun.

games. The more time you spend on these activities the less time is available for being
physically active.

stronger, play longer and look and feel better. Set realistic goals-do not tries changing too
