SUPERFOOD HEROES!!!

Para afianzar este tema van a crear un superhéroe por cada grupo alimenticio. Este superhéroe va a tener unas pócimas (nutrientes que contiene) que le van a ayudar a poder llevar a cabo sus poderes (funciones). A su vez van a tener una serie de amigos que le van a ayudar con su misión (ejemplos dentro del mismo grupo).

Un ejemplo de superhéroes pordría ser el siguiente:

ACTIVITY 3:

En la actividad 3 tienen que dibujar las peculiares casas-pirámides donde viven. Siguiendo las siguientes indicaciones deberán situar a cada familia de superhéroes y sus amigos en la planta donde viven.

All of these food groups live in a beautiful city called "BALANCED DIET TOWN". And they live in very peculiar pyramid houses. Carbs live on the first floor, Fruit and Vegetables families live on the second floor, Dairy Products and Meat and Fish live on the third floor (they are neighbours) and Sugary Foods and Bad Fats live on the top of the pyramid.

Activity: Draw them in their houses, putting them in their correct places.
Examples:

ACTIVITY 4:
En la actividad 4 se veremos cuántas veces más o menos es aconsejable que usen sus poderes en nuestro cuerpo por día (las veces o raciones que deberíamos comer por día de cada uno de los grupos alimentarios).

How many times can they use their powers a day?

- Cereal and Grains family: You should ask for their help at least six times a day.
- Fruit and Vegetable family:  You should ask for their help at least five or six times a day.
- Meat, Fish and Eggs family:  You should ask for their help about two times a day.
- Good Fats Family:  You should ask for their help at least two times a day (use in small amounts).
- Dairy family:  You should ask for their help about two times a day too.
- Sugary Food and Bad Fats family: You must stay clear of this family because they will cause you harm (only on party or school birthdays)
