What is a healthy, balanced diet?
A healthy, balanced diet should provide us with sufficient nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, to help maintain normal physiological functions; to assist with growth and repair of the body; and to help fight and prevent against infection and disease.
Adopting a positive attitude to our diet and lifestyle is important. Healthy family practices can also set a good example – helping to ensure our own, and our family’s health and wellbeing.
