Foods rich in carbohydrates, or "Go"
foods, provide healthy energy. "Go"
foods include bread, cereals, pasta,
potatoes and rice. Carbohydrate-
containing foods are often high in B
vitamins, fiber and other essential
nutrients, and are a vital source of
energy for the brain.

Foods rich in proteins, or "Grow" foods, are foods essential for
growth and healthy body development. These include milk and
dairy products, eggs, meat, fish, nuts, beans and avocados.
Proteins strengthen the bones and build healthy muscles. "Grow"
foods keep the heart strong, and help repair and fortify body
tissues.
♦ FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE GLOW FOODS - THEY HELP YOU HAVE
SHINY HAIR AND SPARKLY EYES.
3. Glow: Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables, or "Glow" foods, enhance the glow of skin and hair.
Glow foods such as spinach, broccoli, oranges and plums are high in fiber,
vitamins and minerals. Soluble fiber such as prebiotics help nourish the
friendly bacteria (probiotics) in the intestines to encourage healthy
digestion.
"Glow" foods are also rich in valuable antioxidants. Antioxidants
include vitamins E, A and C, and minerals such as selenium. These
help fight cell damage to keep the immune system healthy.
"Glow" foods make the skin and hair glow, and provide the body
with healthy energy.
