Eat Smart, Feel Great

What you eat gives your body the energy it needs for learning, running, playing sports, and spending time with friends.

Try to:

  • Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables, they’re full of vitamins.
  • Choose whole grains like oatmeal, brown rice, or whole‑wheat bread.
  • Drink plenty of water instead of sugary drinks.
  • Pick lean proteins such as chicken, beans, or eggs.
  • Enjoy treats sometimes, but not all the time.

Healthy eating helps you stay focused and active all day. Even swapping just one snack for a healthier option can make a big difference.

Take Care of Your Mind

Healthy living isn’t only about food and exercise. Your emotional and mental health are just as important.

Ways to stay mentally healthy:

  • Get enough sleep (8–10 hours each night).
  • Take breaks when school or life feels stressful.
