What we eat can make a considerable difference to our health. A balanced diet is important for everyone, whatever your age. In Grampian we are working together to make sure that everybody can enjoy the benefits of eating a healthy diet.
A healthier diet can be achieved by:
- Increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables we eat to at least five portions a day;
- Reducing the amount of fat we eat, particularly saturated fat;
- Combining healthy eating with regular physical activity;
- Encouraging and enabling people to develop skills and knowledge that will help them to improve their diet;
- Eating a balanced diet is a positive step we can all take towards improving our health.
