10 EASY TIPS TO LIVE BY
COOK FROM SCRATCH
EAT A BALANCED DIET
Variety is key – eat the rainbow
Fill your diet with a wide range of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, pulses, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and naturally low fat dairy foods. When it comes to fruit and veg, different colours provide your body with the different nutrients it needs to stay strong and healthy – it's not just greens that are good for you!
Eat nutritious calories
Make sure the majority of your energy intake comes from nutritious calories that also provide your body with nutrients like vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre and good fats. Avoid empty calories.
Read the small print
It's important to read packaging correctly. Be aware of the recommended portion sizes, and the sugar, salt and saturated fat contents. Remember that not all E-numbers are bad, but too many is often a bad sign.
Keep active
Exercise is an extremely important factor in staying healthy so try to be as active as you can.
