• You are what you eat! The food you eat can have a big impact not only on your physical health, but on your mood as well.
• Eating a variety of foods from all the food groups—fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy—helps you get the nutrients you need to stay healthy and energetic.
• Drinking enough water is essential for staying hydrated, especially when you're active. Aim for at least 6-8 glasses of water a day.
