G UIDELINES FOR A HEALTHY DIET.  1. Base your meals on starchy foods- Starchy foods should make up about a third of the food we eat.  2. Eat lots of fruit and veg- Try to eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and veg every day.  3. Eat more fish- Aim for at least two portions of fish a week, including a portion of oily fish.  4. Cut down on saturated fat and sugar- Cut down on food that is high in saturated fat and have foods that are rich in unsaturated fat instead, such as vegetable oils (including sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil), oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds.  5. Try to eat less salt - no more than 6g a day- Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure.  6. Get active and try to be a healthy weight- Being overweight can lead to health conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes.  7. Drink plenty of water- We should be drinking about 6 to 8 glasses (1.2 litres) of water.  8. Don't skip breakfast- Breakfast can help give us the energy we need to face the day.

WHAT ARE NUTRIENTS ? 1. SUBSTANCES that perform different FUNCTIONS (jobs) in the body. 2. NUTRITION is the study of nutrients 3. Nutrients are substances found in plants and animals. 4. No one food will provide all the nutrients the body needs. 5. Most food contain more than ONE TYPE of nutrient 6. RICH SOURCES of nutrients contain a HIGH AMOUNT of nutrients. 7.

ENERGY DENSE FOODS are food that supply the body with high sources of energy.

They're a good source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, vitamin C and potassium. They're an excellent source of dietary fibre, which helps maintain a healthy gut and prevent constipation and other digestion problems. A diet high in fibre can also reduce your risk of bowel cancer.
