8 top tips to eat a balanced diet
Base your meals on starchy foods such as bread, cereals, rice, pasta and potatoes.
Eat lots of fruit and veg. For example - add a sliced banana to your cereal; drink juice instead of coffee; snack on fruit and eat vegetables with your evening meal.
Eat more fish. Aim for at least two portions of fish a week, including one portion of oily fish such as salmon or herring.
Cut down on saturated fat and sugar. Too much saturated fat can increase the chance of developing heart disease, whilst consuming too much sugar can cause tooth decay.
Try to eat less salt - no more than 5g a day. Too much salt can raise your blood pressure - increasing the chance of developing heart disease or having a stroke.
Get active and try to be a healthy weight. If you're worried about your weight, ask your GP or a dietitian for advice.
Drink plenty of Water. To keep hydrated, we should be drinking about 6-8 glasses (1.2 litres) of water, or other fluids, every day.
Don't Skip Breakfast. Our morning meal helps give us the energy we need to face the day and some evidence suggests it actually helps people control their weight.
