Healthy eating is about having good habits and staying realistic, not about dieting. It’s about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible. Learn the basics and use them in a way that works for you. Eating well begins with eating a variety of foods each day to get the nutrients you need for good health. It’s all about balance, moderation and variety. Eating well isn’t about counting calories, but it’s still important to make sure that you’re not eating more than your body needs.

Food choices can reduce your risk of chronic disease. Additionally, learning the habits of healthy eating can boost your energy, sharpen your memory and stabilize your mood. Healthy food choices include lots of colourful vegetables and fruit - 7 to 10 times every day, lots of fibre - whole grains and legumes every day, limiting your intake of red meat, avoiding processed meats, and limiting salt intake.
