Health and nutrition

1. Health and nutrition By Megan, summer and holly 

2. Healthy food! • A diet based on starchy foods such as rice and pasta, with plenty of fruit and vegetables, some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish and lentils, and some milk and dairy foods (and not too much fat, salt or sugar) will give you all the nutrients that you need. • When it comes to a healthy diet, balance is the key to getting it right. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions.

3. The Food Groups! • Fruit and vegetables. • Starchy foods, such as rice, pasta, bread and potatoes. Choose wholegrain varieties whenever you can. • Meat, fish, eggs and beans. • Milk and dairy foods. • Foods containing fat and sugar. Most people in the UK eat too much fat, sugar and salt, and not enough fruit, vegetables and fibre

4. Fruit and vegetables • Fruit and vegetables are a vital source of vitamins and minerals. It's advised that we eat five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day. • If you don’t eat you five a day, don’t worry too much as long as you tried, you will still be healthy 
