Many of you would have heard of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. Do you remember what the witch's cottage was made of?
Yes, it was made of gingerbread and cakes, sugar-glazed windowpanes and candy roofing. Sounds like a dream but food like these are definitely not healthy for children or adults.
Today, there are all kinds of food and drinks that are high in sugar content but low in nutrients.
Some examples would be fast food, carbonated drinks, junk and fried food.
Our human bodies need healthy food and drinks that are rich in nutrients to keep the organs like the heart, liver and kidneys working well.
Sometimes we can get carried away when we over-indulge in food. We may not realise what we are subjecting our bodies to. One good way to monitor our food intake is to have a checklist or journal.
Remember! All of us have only one body to last a lifetime. So, it is our responsibility to keep our bodies healthy.
