Eating a balanced diet

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health, and can help you feel
your best.
This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions, and consuming the right amount of food and drink to achieve and
maintain a healthy body weight.
Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals and fibre. It's
recommended that you eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables
every day. There's evidence that people who eat at least 5 portions of fruit and
vegetables a day have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.
Just 1 apple, banana, pear or similar-sized fruit is 1 portion each. A slice of
pineapple or melon is also 1 portion. Adding a tablespoon of dried fruit, such as
raisins, to your morning cereal is an easy way to get 1 portion. In the evening,
have a portion of vegetables with dinner and fresh fruit with plain, lower fat
yoghurt for dessert
Starchy foods in your diet

Starchy foods should make up just over a third of everything you eat. This means your meals should be based on these foods.
Choose varieties of starchy foods, such as brown rice, wholewheat pasta, and brown, or higher fibre white bread. They contain more
fibre, and usually more vitamins and minerals, than white varieties.
Potatoes with the skins on are a great source of fibre and vitamins. For example, when having boiled potatoes or a jacket potato, eat
the skin too.
Milk and dairy foods (and alternatives)

Milk and dairy foods, such as cheese and yoghurt, are good sources of protein. They also contain calcium, which helps keep your
bones healthy. Choose semi-skimmed, 1% fat or skimmed milk, as well as lower fat hard cheeses or cottage cheese, and lower fat,
lower sugar yoghurt.
Beans, fish, eggs, meat and other proteins

These foods are all good sources of protein, which is essential for the body to grow and repair itself. They're also good sources of a
range of vitamins and minerals. Meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc and B vitamins. Always
cook meat. Try to eat less red and processed meat like bacon, ham and sausages. Eggs and fish are also good sources of protein, and
contain many vitamins and minerals. Aim to eat at least 2 portions of fish a week, including 1 portion of oily fish.
Beans, peas and lentils are naturally very low in fat and high in fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals. Nuts are high in fibre, and
unsalted nuts make a good snack. But they do still contain high levels of fat, so eat them in moderation.
Eat less saturated fat, sugar and salt

Too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases your risk of developing heart disease.
Foods and drinks high in sugar increases your risk of obesity and tooth decay.
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure, which increases your risk of getting heart disease or having a stroke. Saturated
fats are found in biscuits, cakes, butter. High levels of salt can be found in crisps, pizza, and ham.
