Germs are tiny living organisms that can make you very sick.

Washing your hands with soap and water before you eat and after you play will keep all the germs away.

Wash your hands

Eat fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables taste great and are jam-packed with vitamins and minerals.

Eating fruit and vegetables every day will help develop your mind and will also keep you fit, strong and healthy.

Drink water

Water is the best drink when you are thirsty because it doesn’t have any added sugar.

Drinking water will help protect your body from sickness and also help your teeth grow stronger.
