The Food we Eat
The chapter 'The Food We Eat' introduces Class 1 CBSE students to the basic types of food we eat every day and why eating is important. Students learn about energy-giving foods, body-building foods, and protective foods that help us grow strong and healthy. This chapter also teaches good eating habits like washing hands before meals and not wasting food. It matters for CBSE board assessments because questions related to daily habits, healthy choices, and meals of the day frequently appear in Environmental Studies (EVS) exams to test young learners' understanding of basic health and hygiene.
