The Food We Eat - Class 4 Science - New St. Mery English School

Food is an essential part of our life. It gives us energy to play, study, and do our daily activities. Without food, we cannot grow or stay healthy. Different types of food provide different nutrients that help our body to grow, repair, and stay strong.

In our daily life, we eat a variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, milk, and pulses. Each type of food has its own importance. Some foods give us energy, some help in growth, and others protect us from diseases.

In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of food, their sources, and the importance of eating a balanced diet. This will help us understand how to make healthy food choices and take care of our body.
