Eating Well
We often hear the terms eat healthy or healthy eating, but what does it actually mean?
Healthy eating involves eating a variety of foods that give you the nutrients you need to maintain your health, feel good, and have energy. It doesn’t mean you have to cut out lots of foods and drinks from your diet and deprive yourself of the things you love.
Healthy eating doesn’t have to be overly complicated. It may feel overwhelming by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there, but one of the easiest ways to understand what a healthy balanced diet looks like is to focus on the Eatwell Guide.
Improving your diet can have significant impacts on your health and wellbeing. Increased energy, improved mood and better sleep are just some of the possibilities!
