Hello.

Hello. I’m Mitchell.

I’m James.

What are we here to talk about, James?

We’re going to talk about nutrition,
in relation to food and drink.

Nutrition? Ok. Do you have more
information on this for us?

Yes. Have a look…

Nutrition is important. We all need a
balanced diet to keep well and healthy.

Food and drink gives us energy; it helps
keep our brains and bodies working

together to get us through
our everyday lives. See:

This explains why is it important to
follow a routine with your food intake,

eating breakfast, lunch and
dinner at regular times, like this:

Remember, it’s fine to have a healthy snack
between breakfast and lunch, so go for it.

The World Health Organisation and the
UK government advise we should all eat

5 portions of fruit or vegetables every day
to prevent or reduce our risk of developing

future health problems such as heart
disease, stroke, and many other illnesses.

So, for example, when you have dinner,
make sure your plate it half filled

with vegetables like the ones being grown here:

You can see on these plots here that lots
of fresh vegetables are being grown.

So, half your plate should be vegetables,
then on the other side a portion of meat

or fish or some other form of
protein, maybe a vegetable burger.

On the final quarter of your plate, you
should have some potatoes or rice, like this:

It’s also important to keep a
good balance in what you drink too.

Health professionals recommend you
should drink around 2 litres of water a day.

This is what 2 litres looks like:

Eight glasses of water.

Drinking this amount will help maintain a
healthy balance and keep you feeling well.

If you don’t drink enough water, you
can become tired and find it difficult

to focus and function, so
water is important too.

Cheers.

I hope you’ve learned something
useful from watching this video.

I’ve certainly learned something new about how
to balance your plate by having half vegetables.

Yes. I’ve also learned a lot about how important
water is and how much I should be aiming to drink.

Eight glasses, wasn’t it?

That’s right.

Also, what was it you said about fruit?

That you have to eat five portions a day.

Right. Well, I’ve certainly picked
up some new information.

Great, well if you want to know
more, take a look at the link:

Yes, that really summarises
everything, so thank you.

Bye.
