00:00Food we eat.
00:02Diti, we have a medical checkup in school today.
00:06Doctor uncle told me to eat well to be healthy.
00:10He said I am too thin.
00:12Yes Alia, the doctor is right.
00:15We need food to live and grow.
00:18It makes us healthy and strong.
00:21Food also gives us energy to work and play.
00:25We get all our food from plants and animals.
00:30Can you tell me some examples of plant and animal food?
00:34Yes Diti, we get grains like barley, cereals, maize, oats, rice and wheat from plants.
00:44We also get spices and herbs like cardamom, garlic, ginger, pepper and turmeric from them.
00:55They add flavor and color to our food.
00:58Foods from animals are meat, fish, eggs, honey and seafood.
01:05Very good.
01:06Diti, doctor was saying something about balanced diet.
01:11What is it?
01:12Our diet is the food that we eat and drink regularly.
01:17A balanced diet includes the right amount of food from each food group.
01:23It helps us to remain healthy.
01:26There are mainly three food groups which should be there in our diet.
01:31What are they Diti?
01:33They are energy giving food, body building food and protective food.
01:39We need energy for everything we do.
01:43Food that gives us energy is called energy giving food.
01:48Rice, potato, sugar and butter give us lots of energy to work and play.
01:57Is that why mom gives us bread and butter in the morning and rice for lunch?
02:02Yes Alia.
02:03What are body building food?
02:05What is their role?
02:07Food that helps our bones and muscles to grow strong is called body building food.
02:14Grains, peas, pulses, milk, eggs and meat are body building foods.
02:22Diti, are fruits also body building food?
02:25No dear, they are protective food.
02:29Food that protects us from diseases and helps us to remain healthy is known as protective food.
02:37Fruits, vegetables and milk are protective food.
02:42Do we cook everything we eat?
02:45No Alia, all fruits and some vegetables are eaten raw.
02:50We cook some vegetables to make them soft and tasty.
02:54Like the potato, cauliflower and the brinjal?
02:59Very good Alia.
03:01Now let me ask you a question.
03:03Is tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
03:06It is a fruit because it contains seeds.
03:10These seeds are used to grow another plant.
03:13Excellent Alia.
03:15Diti, our teacher told us that we should not eat too much fast food.
03:21Why did she say that?
03:23Dear, fast food has very low nutrient value and more of fats.
03:28Hence we should not eat too much fast food.
03:32Ok Diti.
03:33Now look at the pictures and tell me who is vegetarian and who is non-vegetarian?
03:39Mr. Pd is non-vegetarian because he is eating egg, seafood and meat.
03:46Mr. Sharma is vegetarian because he is eating vegetables, pulses and rice.
03:54This is the food we get from plants.
03:58Very good.
03:59Come let's go and have a meal now.
04:02Diti, what is a meal?
04:04Meal is a food we eat.
04:07We usually eat meals with family or friends.
04:11Breakfast, lunch and dinner are the three main meals of the day.
04:17We eat breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon and dinner at night.
04:24What is tiffin then?
04:26Tiffin is a small meal we eat in school or office.
04:30It is not a main meal.
04:32Alia, I hope you drink plenty of water.
04:35It's summer time.
04:36Why do we need to drink so much of water, Diti?
04:40Dear, our body needs lots of water.
04:44Water helps us to digest food.
04:47It flushes the waste material out from the body.
04:51We should drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water every day.
04:57Ok, Diti.
04:59Dear, keep in mind that we should always drink boiled or filtered water.
05:05We can fall sick if we drink dirty water.
05:10Joint disease and typhoid are two common diseases caused by dirty water.
05:16Ok, Diti. I will always drink boiled or filtered water.
05:21Alia, can you tell me what makes your teeth and bones strong?
05:25Milk.
05:26Yes, dear.
05:27We should drink 2 glasses of milk every day.
05:32It makes our bones and teeth strong.
05:35Please tell me about some more good food habits.
05:39Do not eat stale or uncovered food.
05:43Do not eat from roadside shops.
05:47Do not waste food and water.
05:50Eat meals at regular times.
05:53Do not overeat.
05:55Wash hands before and after meals.

06:04Rinse your mouth after eating.
06:07Do not eat too much of sweets.
