Do you want to know about the Principles of a Healthy Diet? Explore accredited online Diet and Nutrition at Brentwood Open Learning College:
The key to a healthy balanced diet is not to ban or omit any foods or food groups but to balance what we eat by consuming a variety of foods from each food group in the right proportions for good health.
The five food groups of healthy food are:
• Fruit and vegetables;
• Bread and cereals;
• Milk and dairy products;
• Meats/alternatives; and
• Drinks
One should eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables each day.
One serving of dairy equals:
• 1 glass of milk (250ml) or calcium fortified soy milk;
• 40g cheese; and
• 200g carton of low fat yoghurt or 1 cup of custard
Dietary fibre is found in plant foods (fruit, vegetables and whole grains) and is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system.
The body gets its fluid from three sources:
• Drinks, either plain water or as part of other beverages including tea, coffee, and/or squash;
• Solid foods, especially fruits and vegetables (even foods such as bread and cheese provide small amounts of fluid);
• As a by-product of chemical reactions within the body
