Good Eating Habits

• We should eat food regularly. Otherwise we will fall sick.
• Fresh vegetables and fruits are good for health. So we should eat fresh fruits and vegetables daily.
• Oily and fried food is not good for health. So we should eat very less amount of such kind of food.
• Drink at least eight glasses of water daily.
• We should take healthy drinks like, lassi, lemonade and coconut water.
• We should eat less sugar because too many sweets, toffees and chocolates can spoil our teeth.
