low in nutritional value

5. Nutrition
⢠Food provides nutrients to help the body work
properly.
⢠No single food contains them in the amounts needed,
so a mixture of foods has to be eaten.
6. Balanced diet
⢠These food groups that make up a balanced diet are:
⢠Bread, cereals and potatoes
⢠Fruit and vegetables
⢠Milk and dairy
⢠Meat, fish and alternatives
⢠Fat and sugar
7. Fats
⢠To stay healthy we need some fat in our diets. There
are two main types of fat:
⢠Saturated fat
⢠Unsaturated fat
⢠A high level of fat is more than 20g fat per 100g and a
low level is 3g fat or less per 100g.
8. Saturated fat
⢠Having too much saturated fat can increase the
amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases
the chance of developing heart disease. Try to eat
these sorts of foods less often or in small amounts:
⢠⢠meat pies, sausages, meat with visible white fat
⢠⢠hard cheese
⢠⢠butter and lard
⢠⢠pastry
⢠⢠cakes and biscuits
⢠⢠cream, soured cream and crème fraÎche
⢠⢠coconut oil, coconut cream or palm oil
9. Unsaturated fat
⢠Try to eat foods that are rich in unsaturated fat
instead.
⢠Such foods are:
⢠Vegetable oils (including sunflower, rapeseed and
olive oil)
⢠Oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds
10. Sugar
⢠Having sugary foods and drinks too often can cause
tooth decay, especially if you have them between
meals.
⢠Many foods that contain added sugar can also be
high in calories so cutting down could help you
control your weight.
⢠We should all be trying to eat fewer foods containing
added sugar, such as sweets, cakes and biscuits,
and drinking fewer sugary soft and fizzy drinks.
11. Salt
⢠Try to eat no more than 6g of salt a day.
⢠Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure.
⢠People with high blood pressure are three times more
likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke than
people with normal blood pressure.
12. Alcohol
⢠Alcohol is also high in calories, so cutting down could
help you control your weight.
⢠For good health, it's a good idea to spread your
drinking throughout the week and avoid binge
drinking.
⢠Drinking heavily over a long period of time can
damage the liver.
15. Healthy eating tips

⢠Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day
⢠Eat more fish
⢠Cut down on saturated fat and sugar
