I Pledge Allegiance To My Health.pdf

I pledge allegiance to my health, to not compare myself to anyone else. With fruits and vegetables I'll fill my tray and get nice and sweaty every day. I have only this body and this one heart so today's the day I'm going to start eating less chips and less sugary drinks and before I eat I'm going to think! A cup of sweet green peppers is an excellent source of vitamin C. By weight, green bell peppers have twice as much vitamin C as citrus fruit, and red bell peppers have three times as much. Peppers are grouped into two categories: hot (chili) and sweet peppers. Hot peppers can be picked at any stage, but are hottest when fully ripe. Sweet peppers mature into red, yellow, orange, and purple peppers with different levels of sweetness. A greenhouse is useful for growing fruits and vegetables, and can provide ideal temperature, sunlight, and water conditions for pepper growth. MyPlate shows the five food groups using a plate, with the red part being the fruit group, the green part being the vegetable group, and so on. Healthy foods from the five food groups include fruits like apples and bananas, vegetables like kale and broccoli, and protein sources like beef and chicken.
