Our bodies need fuel to keep working properly and our fuel comes in the form of food.

If we don't fill our stomachs back up we become sluggish, tired and even sick.

Not eating enough causes us to lose energy and can make you sick enough eventually that you could die.

Make sure you get something to eat so your body stays healthy.
