The nutrition information on food labels, together with GDA information, can help us see how individual foods and drinks fit into our diet.
It is also helpful to follow some basic guidelines when choosing what we eat. Research suggests that watching our fat intake, especially saturated fat; basing meals around starchy foods; aiming for at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day and being active, helps keep us healthy and in good shape.
In order to enjoy a healthy diet, aim to include a wide variety of foods to provide all the necessary nutrients for health. You don't have to stop eating foods which are higher in salt, fat or sugar – but you do need to balance your diet. For example, when you eat a few high fat foods, choose low fat foods at other times to compensate. To keep your weight in check, aim to balance the energy (Calories) you eat with the energy you burn. The best way to do this is to combine a healthy diet with regular physical activity. foodfitness healthy lifestyle tips can help you do just that!
