Digestion

How healthy are potato chips? How healthy are museli bars?  How healthy is yoghurt?  How healthy are baked beans?  Today, we learnt the ingredients in food.  We discussed and identified the main properties in food (both healthy and unhealthy), and how these impact on how our body functions.  We also looked at how the digestion system works in our body.  Words such as oesophagus, intestine, stomach, liver, heart, etc, were identified and talked about.  Did you know...the small intestine is about 5 meters long and is as thin as a skipping rope!  We now understand about the importance of healthy eating and to take better care of our bodies.  A special thanks to Nadine (and Harold) for their commitment in educating children throughout Northland about food and nutrition.  Keep it up team!!!
