The kinds of food that you should find in a lunch-box...

In your lunch box most people would like sweets and crisps but you need some bread, fruit and a healthy drink.

After learning about healthy eating this is what I would like in my pack-lunch:

A tuna, or a turkey and salad sandwich;

An apple;

A banana and a carrot;

Two digestive biscuits;

A strawberry yoghurt;

And some pure orange juice.

You should have the biscuit for energy; you eat the tuna, turkey or salad sandwich for fibre, carbohydrates and protein.The fruit, vegetables and yoghurt will give you the vitamins and minerals that you need and the juice will give you some refreshing liquid, because as everybody knows - you need 2 litres of water every day.

With this packed-lunch I would be more healthy and more able to keep going throughout the day.

...Now that you've found out what to eat to keep your body healthy, click on the red 2 to find out the world of music helped the children of Ebor Gardens Primary School to be more peaceful.
