Healthy Eating
Healthy eating is about choosing a variety of foods that give your body the nutrients it needs to work well and feel good. It’s not about strict rules, cutting out entire food groups, or aiming for perfection. Instead, it’s about balance, variety, and enjoying food as part of a healthy lifestyle.
A healthy diet includes a mix of different food types, in the right amounts, to support your body’s needs. That means eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, choosing wholegrains where you can, including some protein (like beans, pulses, fish, eggs or lean meat), and choosing healthy fats in small amounts. It also means being mindful of how much sugar, salt, and saturated fat you're having.
Healthy eating looks a bit different for everyone, depending on age, activity level, health conditions, and cultural or personal preferences. But in general, it’s about making choices that help you feel energised, support your mental and physical health, and reduce your risk of illness in the long term.
It’s also important to enjoy your food. Eating well isn’t just about what’s on your plate – it’s about how you eat too. Taking time to eat, noticing when you’re hungry or full, and sharing meals with others when you can all contribute to a positive relationship with food.
In this section, you’ll find practical advice to help you build balanced meals, understand food labels, plan your shopping, and make healthier choices that suit your lifestyle.
