What is healthy food for kids?
Healthy food for school-age children includes a wide variety of fresh foods from the five food groups:
vegetables
fruit
grain foods
reduced-fat dairy
protein.
Each food group has different nutrients, which your child’s body needs to grow and work properly. That’s why we need to eat a range of foods from across all five food groups.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegies give your child energy, vitamins, anti-oxidants, fibre and water. These nutrients help to protect your child from diseases later in life, including diseases like heart disease, stroke and some cancers.
