Simple Health tips
These practical tips cover the basics of healthy eating, and can help you make healthier choices:
Base your meals on starchy foods
Starchy foods should make up around one third of the foods you eat. Starchy foods contain more fibre.
Eat more fish
Fish is a good source of protein and contains many vitamins and minerals. Aim to eat at least two portions a week.
Cut down on saturated fat and sugar
We all need some fat in our diet. But it’s important to pay attention to the amount and type of fat we’re eating.
Eat less salt
Even if you don’t add salt to your food, you may still be eating too much. About three-quarters of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.
