and become healthy. These include vitamins and
minerals, vegetables and fruits, meat and fish

When buying ready to eat foods, be sure they come
from covered containers. Uncovered foods are easily
contaminated by bacteria or germs and harmful
insects.

c. Chew the food slowly and well. Relax while eating your
meals. Do not swallow large chunks of food.
d. Do not eat when you are angry, sad or tense. The food
you take in will not be properly digested and may
cause indigestion.

e. Wash uncooked foods thoroughly before eating them.

f. Drink about six to eight glasses of water a day. Lessen

your intake of sweets during snacks. Chocolates,
cakes, and candies may destroy your appetite.

help stimulate intestinal activity.
