♦️We live in a world of plenty, with more than enough food to choose from.
👉We choose foods for many reasons besides hunger.
✔️Personal taste, family preferences, cultural influences, emotional reasons, health concerns, societal pressures, convenience, cost, and variety and quantity of the available offerings all come into play when we choose what to eat.
🍎Eating a wide variety of healthy foods helps to keep you in good health and to protect against chronic disease.
🍊Eating a well-balanced diet means eating a variety of foods from each of the 5 food groups daily, in the recommended amounts.
🍓It is also important to choose a variety of foods from within each food group.
🍔🍰Takeaway foods, cakes, biscuits and soft drinks are examples of foods usually high in saturated fat, added salt or added sugars. They should be considered as extras to your usual diet and only eaten occasionally and in small amounts.
♦️Daily food serves are different for children, teenagers, women and men.
Eat Well,
Live Well👏
