Health and Wellbeing - Eat Well, Live Well

The main point of eating is to supply our body with energy needed for day to day life. However, it is important to keep a healthy, balanced diet we must put the same amount of energy into the body as we are using up.

We get this energy from a range of nutrients:

• Carbohydrates e.g. pasta, rice, bread, potatoes
• Protein e.g. meat, fish, eggs, pulses
• Fats e.g. fatty fish, nuts, oils
• Fibre e.g. wholegrain cereals, bread, fruit, vegetables
• Vitamins and minerals e.g. green leafy vegetables, dairy, cereals
• Water e.g. fruit juices, soups, stews, milk

The Eatwell Plate

The Eatwell plate encourages us to choose a wide variety of foods from the main food groups each day to ensure your body gets sufficient nutrients to function properly.

See our Servings and Portions page for more information on portion sizes and recommendations.
