 Go for Whole Grains – Whenever you can, choose whole grains like whole wheat, wheat bran, oat bran, oatmeal, barley and bulgur. Grain products give you energy for your busy day, and the fibre in whole grains helps stabilize your blood sugar and keep your digestive system regular.  Load Up on Vegetables and Fruit - Vegetables and fruit are packed with nutrients and fibre, so enjoy a wide variety of them. Try to include at least one dark green and one orange veggie daily.  Make Your Day with Milk Products - Milk products are a great source of protein, calcium and B vitamins. And they’re delicious!

 Choose Lean Protein Meat and meat alternatives are a good source of protein, iron, zinc and other nutrients. Make lean choices and prepare them with little or no added fat. For added variety, enjoy alternatives like legumes (kidney beans, chick peas, and lentils), eggs, peanut butter and tofu.  Go Easy on Added Fats Fats and oils add a lot of flavour to food, and they help us absorb some nutrients. But high fat diets are also linked to health risks such as obesity and high blood cholesterol, so use added fats in moderation.
