Food for Health
Food gives us energy, food helps us grow,
Healthy food makes our bodies glow.
Rice and wheat give energy to play,
Pulses and milk help us grow each day.
Fruits and vegetables keep us strong,
They help our bodies fight germs all day long.
Eat a balanced plate every day,
Drink lots of water, work and play.
Sweet and sour, salty too,
Pungent, bitter, astringent for you.
Six tasty flavours, Shad Rasa they say,
Bring healthy balance to our meals each day.
Jowar, Bajra, Ragi are good for you,
Healthy millets in every meal too.
They give us fibre and nutrients we need,
Good for our bodies and Earth indeed.
Chips and burgers may taste so nice,
But too much junk is not so wise.
Eat fresh food and keep healthy and strong,
Make healthy choices all life long.
