We can divide the food into three groups :

1. Energy-giving foods 2. Body-building foods
3. Protective foods

We should eat all kinds of food in the right amount. Eating too much

can make us fat and eating too little can make us weak.
1. Energy-giving Foods : Some food such as rice, wheat, etc., give us

energy to work and play. These foods are called energy-giving foods .

They also help our body to stay warm. Examples : rice, potato, sugar,

etc.
