We've all heard of 'healthy eating' but how easy is it to achieve within our busy lives?
Our individual eating habits are often formed over a long period of time. There is no one eating plan that applies to everyone - we all have different taste preferences and different lifestyles.
'Healthy eating' is all about achieving a diet that provides us with enough energy and nutrients to help our bodies function and to support our daily activity levels. Children and adolescents need extra nutrition to support their growth and development.
Are you getting the balance right?
In order to maintain a healthy body weight it is important to balance the amount of energy we get from food with the amount of energy we use during the day.
Sounds simple...
It can be very difficult to achieve a balance between ‘energy in and energy used’; over half of all adult men and women in the UK are now overweight showing just how difficult this balance can be to attain. Give your lifestyle a new direction and look for ways to achieve a healthy body weight by increasing physical activity and improving your eating pattern. Think about the pros and cons of making lifestyle changes. Are you ready to make the next step?
