To stay healthy and productive, our bodies need over 114 vitamins and minerals that can only be obtained through a varied diet. Eating the same foods every day does not provide this variety of nutrients. It is important to eat a wide range of foods from all food groups throughout the day and week, such as fruits for breakfast, vegetables for lunch, and protein for dinner, in order to meet all of our nutritional needs and avoid deficiencies that can cause fatigue, headaches and loss of focus. Consuming a variety of nutrients is as important for our bodies as putting different fuels and fluids in a car to keep it running well.

1. NUTRITIONAL INTAKE:
FOCUS ON VARIETY
Health and Wellness

2. TREAT YOUR BODY WELL
 Imagine your body as a car.
 In order for the car to function at it optimal
level, it needs many things such as oil, gas,
water, and others.
 If one of the thing is missing, then the car
will not function well.
 Even though the car might still run when it
is low in oil or water, it is not running well.
 When you keep on using your car when it is
low on things, then it will soon shut down.

3. 114 VITAMINS AND MINERALS
 It is the same with your body.
 You need a lot of nutrients to keep your
body productive.
 There are at least 114 vitamins and
minerals that your body needs to stay
productive.
 When you just eat one or two foods all the
time, then your body will not get all the
nutrients you need to stay productive.

4. VARIETY FOR MAXIMUM
HEALTH
 For example, if you like carrots and eat
them all day long, carrots do not have 114
nutrients that the body needs.
 When your body is low in nutrients, you
tend to get tired faster, easier to get
headaches, frustration and lost of focus
tend to develop faster.

5. SPREAD OUT YOUR
NUTRIENTS
 You want to eat as many different kinds of
foods as possible throughout the day, or at
least throughout the week.
 For example, if you eat a banana for
breakfast, then you want to eat something
else such as an apple for lunch, and then
something else for dinner such as an
orange or any other fruit that you have
not eaten yet.

6. GET IN ALL YOUR FOOD
GROUPS
 You also want to eat a variety from all of
the food groups such as: vegetables, gain,
protein, and dairy.
 The wider your food intake, the higher the
chance that you will get all of the
nutrients that your body needs.
 If you are allergic to certain foods, then of
course, you want to avoid them.
