Healthy Eating / Cooking On A Budget
Healthy Eating
Many of us think of our healthy eating in terms of weight. Whilst a healthy lifestyle can certainly help you in managing your weight, the benefits extend well beyond appearance. It can also promote overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and even some types of cancer.
Eat five a day
Fruit and vegetables are part of a balanced diet and can help you to stay healthy. The five a day message highlights the health benefits of getting five 80g portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are also usually low in fat and calories (provided they aren’t fried or roasted in lots of oil). That’s why eating them can help you to maintain a healthy weight and keep your heart healthy.
Eat less salt and fat
Extensive research has proven that excessive salt and fat in our diets is a major cause of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Get tips on cutting your salt levels at Action on Salt. Whilst Change 4 Life has some great advice on cutting back on fat.
