Good versus Bad Food

I drew a picture of good versus bad food and healthy versus unhealthy earth. I believe that being healthy means eating good and nutritious food such as fruits and vegetables so that we have all the vitamins and nutrients our body need everyday to have energy to do the things we love. Also, eating healthy food will help to prevent having health problems in the future, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Eating healthy foods will lead to a healthy and happy life. This is similar to keep our earth healthy. If we reduce waste and conserve water, we will be able to preserve our healthy planet in the future. That is why I believe that it is both important for us to eat good food to keep our body healthy and keep our earth healthy.

Heads up to healthy foods

My artwork work describes the thumbs up and thumbs down design.Thumbs up is the  positive way to bring healthy food in day to day routine and thumbs down is say no to junk and unhealthy foods which is bad for the body. Healthy food is important to me because it makes your body fit and strong with all nutrients, that helps to fight with infections and viruses.

My Body Band

Healthy food will give me energy to study hard and play hard.  It will also help me grow.  Our body is like a band.  The band needs good different musicians to play beautiful music.  Our body need healthy different food to be successful.

Healthy over Junk

My painting shows how it is important to eat a healthy balanced diet in order to stay strong among all the unhealthy food available.  The healthy foods and vegetables represent the person's strength while the fast food burgers and hot dogs he is holding drip onto and melt his body representing their ill effects on the body and the need to maintain a healthy diet.

The Love Put Into Our Foods

Healthy food is important to me because I believe in order to succeed and feel good we need healthy foods. In my artwork there’s a large variety of what I consider healthy foods, on the right side you can see those who consume the foods do good. On the bottom left and right, you can see there are drawings of unhealthy foods and how the outcomes of eating unhealthy foods can be. Although consuming the unhealthy foods at first feels good, the aftermath might not be as pleasant.

If the nutrients fit

This is a composition of all the food groups in the background that are needed to most youth of San Francisco and it is very important to be in good shape for your development.This makes me think of how people need to know the main foods that you might need to keep being energized and healthy for years to come.The importance of healthy eating is to benefit yourself and your overall mood as well as your physical strength and to me it helps to see other people do exercise and eating a balanced diet.

Mindful health and diet

Yoga, the balance of body, mind, and soul. Eating healthy foods is a form of care for your body. Life is all about balance, and having a balance between healthy foods and junky foods is good for not only your physical health but your overall health as well.

Happy Healthiness

My artwork is a drawing of how healthy foods are correlated with feelings of positive attitudes and happiness. Healthy food is important to me because you can eat it and feel better about yourself. People often think that healthy food don't taste good but that's wrong! Healthy foods shouldn't make you feel bad about yourself they should boost your attitude and make you feel happy and excited!
