Healthy Eating

There are some simple things you can do to eat more healthily. Try to:

• Have at least three vegetables and two fruits per day, more if you can.
• Eat different coloured fruit and vegetables – think of it like a rainbow!
• Eat more fibre by swapping to wholemeal or brown rice, pasta, bread and wraps.
• Encourage children to taste lots of different types of vegetables as soon as they start on solid food.
• Eat less food that’s high in fat, sugar and salt – check the recommended levels on NHS Food labels.
• Drink plenty of water, herbal teas and milk or a milk alternative.
• Drink less alcohol as this tends to be high in calories and sugar.
