Diet - the kinds of foods a person eats
Exercise - moving our bodies to stay strong and healthy
Hygiene - keeping ourselves clean and healthy
Common misconception
Healthy eating and exercise is only important for people who want to change how their body looks.
It's important to eat well and exercise because we care for our body, not because we want to change it. Caring for our body is part of looking after ourselves.
Teacher tip
Encourage pupils to discuss and notice the signs their body gives them when they feel worried, hungry, thirsty or tired.
