Eating a Balanced Diet

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A perky presentation provides an overview of what comprises a balanced diet. Viewers discover why water is vital to our health, what the macro-nutrients are and what they provide, and how calcium is important to bones and teeth. The information is uncomplicated, making this most appropriate for a health lesson with upper elementary learners.
