Eating healthy food is the key to providing nutrients to your body. Nutrients keep your brain active, your heart beating and help strengthen bones, muscles and tendons. The best way to keep your body healthy is to enjoy a variety of foods every day from all the five food groups:
- bread, cereals, rice, pasta, noodles
- vegetables, legumes
- fruit
- milk, yoghurt, cheese
- meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, legumes.
These foods provide all the nutrients the body needs. When choosing snacks, we recommend choosing foods that are closest to their natural form. Always keep your cupboard and fridge stocked with healthy choices to prevent being tempted by unhealthy alternatives.
Drink plenty of water! To maintain good health, adults should drink 8 glasses of water every day. Drink more water during physical activity and when in a hot climate. Water is the best drink to quench thirst.
