The Best Diet Of All - The Balanced Diet

Posted by admin


The Balanced Diet
A healthiest diet of all is one that is balanced. This means eating the right amount of food for how active the you are, and eating a range of food from the five main food groups.


Including:
• carbohydrates, which contain lots of energy and nutrients and are found in starchy foods, such as bread, pasta and potatoes.
• protein, which helps the body to grow and repair itself, is found in meat, fish, beans and eggs
• fruit and vegetables
• milk and dairy foods
• foods that contain fat and sugar

Carbohydrates should make up about one-third of the daily diet as should fruit and vegetables. The rest of the diet may be split between protein and milk and dairy. Only a small amount of what is eaten every day should come from foods that are high in fat and sugar. 

Eating well is an important part of maintaining good health. Here's some practical tips how to cover the basics of healthy eating to help you make healthier choices:



TUCK INTO THE VEGGIES
Fruit and vegetables must be eaten, at least five portions of different types daily.
STARCHED 
Include some starchy foods in your meals as these provide energy.
HELLO LITTLE FISHY 
Include two portions of oily fish every week such as mackerel or sardines.
FAT ALERT
Avoid the sugars and fats, these are often found in snacks and processed foods.
SALT OVERLOAD
Salt should avoided as an condiment as it is naturally in most foods.
GET UP AND GET MOVING
Undertake active pursuits to achieve a healthy weight.
KEEP IT WATERED
Drink plenty of water, about six to eight glasses every day.
BREKKI IS A MUST 
breakfast should always be eaten as this provides the start-up energy for the day.

Remember what you put inside reflects on the outside,  food is our forgotten medicine.
