Eat Well
The NHS encourages us to eat a healthy balanced diet to maintain good health and keep us feeling our best. A balanced diet, combined with physical activity, can help us to manage our weight, as well as lower cholesterol levels, blood pressure and reduce our risk of type 2 diabetes. However, with so much information and advice on nutrition available on the internet these days, it can be difficult to know what is safe and reliable information to take on board. . .
The Eatwell Guide* is the government overview of the different kinds of foods we should be eating and in what proportions in order to achieve a healthy balanced diet. Heard it all before? That's because these guidelines represent the best available evidence-based nutrition science. Although this may not seem super exciting, it can be really helpful for us to check in with the Eatwell Guide every now and again to get an idea of how balanced our diets are and whether we could be missing out on any key nutrients.
So there you have it, a brief introduction to eating a healthy, balanced diet, as told by the Eatwell Guide!
