Question

a boy or girls of age 8 what should not or cannot eat?​

Answer 1

A healthy, balanced diet for children aged 7 to 10 should include:

• at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day
• meals based on starchy foods, such as potatoes, bread, pasta and rice (choose wholegrain varieties when possible)
• some milk and dairy products or alternatives (choose low-fat options where you can)
• some foods that are good sources of protein, such as meat, fish, eggs, beans and lentils

Make sure that your child doesn't eat too many sugary or fatty foods, such as sweets, cakes and biscuits, or drink too many sugary fizzy drinks.
