Description of the project:

     This project was designed to educate students about healthy habits and guide them to choose the proper nutrition for the growth of their bodies and minds and how to stay healthy and active. Students need to learn about healthy and unhealthy habits. As we know that now many students have poor nutrition, so you must make them aware about the proper food for them. My  project focus in four skills on communication. I hope it is useful.
