Go, Glow and Grow Food
Go Foods are the type of food that provide fuel and help us ‘go’ and be active. Examples of ‘Go’ foods include bread, rice, pasta, cereals and potato. These foods give our muscles fuel to run, swim, jump, cycle and our brain fuel to concentrate. If we don’t eat enough ‘Go’ foods then we can feel tired and won’t have enough fuel to get through the day. It’s important to include ‘Go’ foods at all meals and especially breakfast so that our body and brain can get ready for the busy school day ahead.
Glow Foods are full of vitamins and minerals to keep our skin, hair and eyes bright and glowing. ‘Glow’ foods can keep our immune system strong so that we can fight bugs and viruses. Examples of ‘Glow’ foods include all fruits and vegetables. Brightly coloured fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals and we need to eat different types every day.
Grow Foods help our body grow bigger and stronger. ‘Grow’ foods help build our body’s bones, teeth and muscles. Examples of ‘Grow’ foods include chicken, meat, fish, eggs and milk, cheese and yoghurt. All of these foods help to keep us feeling full so that we don’t get hungry straight away. ‘Grow’ foods also help keep our brain bright and focused. If we don’t eat enough ‘Grow’ foods our bodies won’t have the right building blocks to make us taller and stronger.
