Healthy Eating
If you are unsure about what to eat to be healthy, or if you want some help with your diet, this page is for you. It gives an overview of what a healthy diet is, and how we can help you achieve one.
Health can be defined as a complete state of physical and emotional wellbeing. Food forms an important part of maintaing our body's health. Healthy eating means eating a varied, balanced diet, which includes all the nutrients the body needs to function correctly.
There are six main nutrients in the diet: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals and Water. Different foods give us different amounts of each nutrient. Food groups are "families" of similar foods which contain large amounts of one or more nutrients.
For a diet to be healthy, we should eat a variety of foods, in the correct amounts. The above picture illustrates what a healthy balanced diet looks like, with the correct amounts of the five food groups shown and examples of the foods in each.
