Eat well

The Joy of Food

Enjoying different foods and eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day are important to give you more energy and protect your short and long term health and wellbeing. Reducing your salt, sugar and fat intake is also vital to maintaining a healthy diet.

There are many easy and cheap ways to eat better. The key is to cook from raw ingredients as often as possible, rather than just eating processed and fast food. Cooking your own food not only tastes better, but you have control over the ingredients that you use. Many processed foods are higher in salt and sugar than your own home cooking, so it is healthier for you too.
