Having a balanced diet is very important for our physical and mental health. We get this balance by making sure our food has a variety of different food types such as proteins, carbohydrates, fibre and fats. Here are some tips, articles and recipes that can help you to understand your diet!
*Top tips*
- Drink plenty of fluids (6-8 glasses a day)
- Aim to have 5 portions of fruit/vegetables every day
- Don’t skip breakfast! It can feel like a waste of time in the morning when you’re in a rush but studies have shown that breakfast is very important for setting up your energy levels for the rest of the day
