Ms Rehana continues her talk about food. "We eat different kinds of food. And they contain different substances. There are six types of food substances."
Carbohydrate : We get carbohydrate from rice, bread, potato and sugar.
Protein : Meat, fish, egg and some vegetables like peas, beans and lentils are good sources of protein.
Fat : We have fat from butter, ghee, edible oil and nuts. Vitamins: We get vitamins mainly from leafy vegetables and fruits. Milk, fish and eggs also contain vitamins.
Minerals : These are essential for good health. Milk, fish, vegetables and fruits have a lot of minerals in them.
Water : Water is most essential for our body. We cannot live without it. We need to drink enough clean water every day.
