Eat Well

 

It can sometimes be a bit of a thought to try and eat healthily.

However, making the move to a more balanced diet can help to prevent diet-related illness (such as diabetes) and will give you all of the energy and nutrients you need to keep active and maintain a healthier weight.

Starting with little changes to your diet can help to make a difference. See these 8 tips for healthy eating.

And to find out how much of the different food groups you should eat and how they can benefit your health view the Eat Well guide below or visit NHS Inform 'Food & Nutrition' .

 

The Eatwell Guide

 

The Eatwell Guide shows how much of what we eat overall should come from each food group to achieve a healthy, balanced diet. You don't need to achieve this balance with every meal but try to get the balance right over a day or even a week.
