  This series aims to increase children's awareness of the importance of looking after their bodies. This book describes how diet affects our bodies, but focuses on the importance of eating healthily. It tells the reader what food substances are necessry for a balanced diet, as well as giving advice on good and bad eating habits. Topical tips on how to store and prepare food properly are also contained. The book makes the point that eating healthily is not boring, but advises against too much sugary or fatty food. The chapter on being a vegetarian suggests that vegetarian food can be just as tasty as non-vegetarian food. Easy to understand information on food allergies and illnesses is provided. Finally, the book deals with anorexia and obesity - and the help that is available to people with eating disorders - in a sensitive way.
