Whole grains are amazing little seeds that give your body energy that lasts all day! They are found in foods like brown rice, oatmeal, and whole wheat bread. Because they are “whole,” they still have all their healthy parts to keep your tummy full and happy.
A bowl of warm oatmeal in the morning is the perfect fuel to start a busy day! You can also enjoy whole wheat bread for sandwiches, brown rice with dinner, or whole grain crackers as a snack. Look for the word “whole” on the package to find the healthiest options.
Eating whole grains instead of white bread helps you focus better in school and play harder at recess. Whole grains give you energy that lasts a long time instead of wearing off quickly. They also have fiber, which helps your tummy feel good and work well.
- Choosing whole grains is a delicious way to give your body a power boost!
