Healthy eating
The choices you make each time you buy food have an impact on your health, vitality and wellbeing, as well as your weight. Healthy eating means selecting foods from all the food groups, and in the right quantities, as outlined in this section, to help you achieve the maximum benefits from your diet.
Healthy dietary choices
Making good choices in your diet starts with educating yourself on sound nutritional guidelines and incorporating that knowledge into your eating habits. For example, by eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods, enjoying plenty of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, and eating regular meals with moderate portions, you can manage your weight and stay healthy.
