Well, Well, Well, Just look at Cabby The Cabbage! She certainly looks very, very sad!

MINERALS  like Calcium are required to build your bones and you will get plenty of it from milk and cheese.




PROTEINS which help you to grow, come from meat, cheese, fish, vegetables and nuts.


SUGAR and STARCHY foods fill you up and supply you the energy that you constantly need. This starch comes from rice and other food grains.
Some amount of FAT is also required to give you energy. This comes from butter and ghee.
The right  combination of all these foods will definitely make you strong and healthy.

Avoid eating of oily and spicy food from outside your home.  Then you will become more prone to diseases.
