1. Enjoy your food
Try to eat lots of different foods every day for variety and enjoyment. Share foods with family and friends.
2. Breakfast is a very important meal
Your body needs energy after a long sleep so breakfast is important. Foods that are high in carbohydrates, such as bread, cereals and fruit, make good breakfast choices. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in helpless overeating. Skipping breakfast can also cause you to lack concentration for schoolwork.
3. Eat lots of different foods
A variety of different foods every day is the recipe for good health. You need 40 different vitamins and minerals for good health and no one food can supply all of them. There are no "good" or "bad" foods so you don't need to miss out on foods you enjoy. Just make sure you get the right balance by eating a wide variety of foods. Balance your choices over time!
4. Base your food choices on carbohydrates
These foods provide needed energy, vitamins and minerals. Foods that are high in carbohydrates include pasta, breads, cereals, fruits and vegetables. Try to include some of these foods at every meal as around half of the calories in your diet should come from them.
5. Eat fruits and vegetables at each meal
You can enjoy fruits and vegetables at meals and as tasty snacks. These foods provide vitamins, minerals and fibre. You should aim to get at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
6. Fat facts
Everyone needs some fat in the diet for good health. However, too much fat, especially saturated fat, can be bad for our health. Saturated fat is found in full fat dairy foods, pies, pastries, fatty meats and sausages. Balance your food choices-if you eat a high-fat meal at lunch, try to choose low-fat foods for dinner.
7. Snack choices
Snacks help to provide energy and nutrients. Choose from a variety of snacks such as fruits, dairy, biscuits, cakes, crisps, nuts and chocolate. Make sure to vary your choices to keep the balance in your diet and don't snack but have proper meals.
8. Quench your thirst
You need to drink plenty of liquids because half of your body is made up of water. At least 6 glasses of fluid day are needed, more if it is very hot or you are exercising. Water and milk are great but variety is fun too.
9. Care for your teeth
Care for your teeth by brushing them at least twice a day. Foods high in starch or sugars can play a role in tooth decay if they are eaten too frequently throughout the day so don't nibble or sip drinks all day.
10. Get moving
Being fit is important for healthy hearts and strong bones so get active. Try to do something every day and make sure its something you enjoy so you stick with it. Too many calories and not enough activity can result in weight gain. Moderate physical activity helps burn off those extra calories. You don't have to be an athlete to get on the move!
