What foods can help us with that?
Bread and grains A balanced diet is based on
bread and grains (foods like rice and cereal). These
foods give you fibre, iron and vitamin B. At least 40%
of what you eat every day should be types of food in
this category.
Fruit and vegetables You should eat plenty of
vegetables and fruit every day to make sure you get
enough potassium and vitamins A, C and E.
Dairy products Types of food in this category, like
milk and cheese, have a lot of calcium and vitamin D.
These two elements protect your bones. You should
consume milk, cheese or yoghurt every day.
Meat, fish and beans This category also
includes eggs and nuts. These types of food give
you iron, magnesium and protein. White meat, such
as chicken, is better for you than fatty, red meat.
Fats and oils A little oil every day (about five or
six spoonfuls) is useful against heart disease.
