Healthy bodies

Your body is amazing! It helps you do all sorts of fun things. It is good to take good care of your body by eating healthy foods, playing inside and outside, taking care of your teeth and getting plenty of rest. Talk with your parent or another grown-up about ways to keep yourself healthy and safe!




Note to parents and caregivers: Research shows that children who learn healthy eating habits and the importance of physical fitness early in life are healthier throughout their lives. Living a healthy life can be fun! Check out these resources to help you and your family learn about nutrition, physical activity, safety and more.
