Good health exercise - Free Printable

Let’s go through the task step by step.

We are given a list of food and drink items, and we need to decide whether each is “good” or “bad” for your health. Then we’ll sort them into two columns: Good and Bad.

Here’s how we think about it:

- Good for health: Foods that give you nutrients, vitamins, energy without too much sugar, salt, or unhealthy fats. Think fresh, natural, balanced.
- Bad for health: Foods with lots of sugar, artificial additives, high sodium, alcohol, or processed ingredients — especially if eaten often.

Now let’s look at each item one by one:

1. Fruits → Fresh fruits have vitamins and fiber. Very good! ✔
2. Noodles → Can be okay in moderation, but often high in carbs and sodium. Not great daily. ✘ (We’ll put here as “bad” for simplicity in this level)
3. Preserved fruits → Often have added sugar or preservatives. Less healthy than fresh fruit. ✘
4. Soft drink → Full of sugar and empty calories. Definitely bad. ✘
5. Lollipop → Pure sugar. No nutrition. Bad. ✘
6. Fried rice → Usually has oil, salt, maybe meat — can be part of a meal but not super healthy alone. We’ll say bad for this exercise. ✘
7. Beer → Alcohol. Not good for kids or regular consumption. Bad. ✘
8. Water → Essential! Keeps you hydrated. Very good. ✔
9. Candy → Sugar overload. Bad. ✘
10. Milk → Gives calcium and protein. Good (unless someone is lactose intolerant, but generally yes). ✔
11. Cake → Sweet, sugary, fatty. Treat only. Bad. ✘
12. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) → Flavor enhancer. Some people avoid it; overuse isn’t ideal. For school level, we’ll consider it “bad” due to being highly processed/additive. ✘

So now we sort:

Good: Fruits, Water, Milk
Bad: Noodles, Preserved fruits, Soft drink, Lollipop, Fried rice, Beer, Candy, Cake, Monosodium glutamate

That’s 3 good, 9 bad — which makes sense because most processed/sugary/alcohol items are labeled “bad” in basic health education.

Final Answer:
Good: fruits, water, milk
Bad: noodles, preserved fruits, soft drink, lollipop, fried rice, beer, candy, cake, monosodium glutamate
