Fascinating Fact:

Exercise helps your heart, lungs, and muscles, and it can improve stamina over time.

In PSHE Health Education (age 7-11), learning about healthy food and exercise is about building habits that support growth, energy, and wellbeing. Eating a variety of foods helps your body get the nutrients it needs, while regular activity keeps you strong and helps you feel more alert. Small choices, like choosing water, having fruit and vegetables, and moving a little every day, can make a big difference over time.

Key Terms

Balanced diet: Eating different types of food so your body gets a good mix of nutrients.
Stamina: How long you can keep going when you are active without getting too tired.
Warm-up: Gentle movement before exercise to prepare your body, like light jogging or stretching.

How much exercise should a child do each day?

Children should try to be active every day, using activities that raise the heart rate and make you breathe faster, such as brisk walking, cycling, active play, or sport, alongside rest and sleep.

Drinking water during exercise helps replace fluids you lose through sweating, supports concentration, and helps your body control its temperature, especially when you are playing hard or it is warm.
