Health is wealth.

Did you know that fruits and vegetables are important because they contain vitamins that help protect us from certain diseases?.

Eating these foods can help prevent some kinds of blindness and infections and help wounds heal properly. These foods also protect us from many other health problems.

Also, poultry, eggs, and fish are good sources of the protein that our bodies need to grow strong. Milk, yogurt, and cheese are also good sources of protein.

Especially during pregnancy

Protein builds muscle tissue and aids us in recovering from illness. Pregnant women and little children especially need protein to develop properly. These types of foods also contain minerals, such as iron and calcium, that help our bodies develop and function properly

Most people think it does not matter what they eat as long as the stomach is filled. This is not true. No one kind of food can take the place of another. Each kind has its own value.

We need the vitamins in fruits and vegetables to protect us from some diseases. We need the protein in meats and other foods for growth.

A pregnant woman needs to be careful to eat foods that will help her, Pregnant women should also make sure they drink plenty of water to avoid problems with dehydration.
