Meal Provision Eat Well, Live Well Eating well is a positive choice to make. A healthy balanced diet contains a variety of types of food‚ including lots of fruit‚ vegetables and starchy foods such as wholemeal bread‚ protein rich foods such as meat‚ fish‚ eggs, pulses and some dairy foods. Fat is a good source of energy, but eating too much fat can make us more likely to put on weight. Eating foods that are high in saturated fat increases the risk of developing heart disease by raising your cholesterol levels. Oily fish contain ‘omega 3 fatty acids’, which are good for your heart and vitamin D which is important for healthy bones. You should aim to eat at least two portions of fish a week, one of which should be oily. Vitamin D is also found in fortified cereals and soft spreads such as margarine. If you do not eat any of these foods, or you rarely get any sunshine you should consider taking a daily supplement. Base your meals on foods that are high in starch and fibre, such as wholemeal bread, pasta, rice, cereals and potatoes. Oats, fruits and vegetables, pulses, such as kidney, butter or baked beans are all good sources of fibre. Eating fibre rich foods and drinking plenty of fluid – around 6 to 8 glasses throughout the

day – can help prevent constipation, which also reduces the risk of some common disorders in the intestine. Have some protein such as meat, eggs, pulses (peas, beans and lentils) and fish every day. Many of these protein rich foods also include iron, which is important to prevent anaemia. Other foods that contain iron include bread, dark green vegetables and fortified breakfast cereals. Because having (more than 1.5mg per day) might increase the risk of bone fracture you should avoid taking any supplements that contain vitamin A, including fish oils which have a high content.
