The balance of good health
There are eight key tips for a healthy diet that you may like to consider:
Enjoy the food
Eat a variety of different foods
Eat the right amount to be a healthy weight
Eat plenty of foods rich in starch and fibre
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables
Do not eat too many foods that contain a lot of fat
Do not have sugary foods and drinks too often
Drink alcohol in moderation
The idea of a balanced diet is to include foods in the right proportions. The aim is to get all the
nutrients your body needs whilst maintaining a healthy weight. It is not a case of having roughly
equal measures of everything. There should be a lot of some foods and just a little of others.
The Balance of Good Health divides food into 5 different groups:
Bread, other cereals and potatoes (starchy foods)
Fruit and vegetables
Milk and dairy foods
Meat, fish and alternatives
Foods containing fat and foods containing sugar
