A LIFESTYLE CHOICE

NUTRITION
A heathly eating plan based on starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, rice and pasta; with plenty of fruit and vegetables; some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish and lentils; some milk and dairy foods; and not too much fat, salt or sugar, will give you all the nutrients you need.
Diet Tips 1. Base your meals on starchy foods: bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, noodles and fibre.
2. Choose a variety of fruit and vegetables as they contain different combinations of vitamins and minerals.
3. Eat more fish- aim for at least two portions per week and one of these should be oily.
4. Cut down on saturated fat and sugars. 5. Eat less salt. 6. Drink water regularly. 7. Eat breakfast.
8. Get active and maintain a healthy weight.
Eat healthily, but avoid eating just before you exercise.
