☺ A guide to healthy living

Diet

The average diet carries considerable health risks. In the last century we have increased the amount of saturated fats, sugars and reduced the fibre content of our diet. These changes caused a massive rise in heart and circulatory diseases, tooth decay and a wide range of digestive problems. Here are the following guidelines for a healthier diet:

• reducing fats

Grill or bake food when possible. Eat more low-fat cheeses, such as cottage cheese, Edam or Mozzarella.

• reducing meat fat

Eat more chicken, turkey and liver. Avoid eating sausages. Eat more fish.

• reducing sugars

Avoid daily snacks of cakes and sweets. Cut out sugar in tea and coffee. Avoid soft drinks with added sugar.

• reducing salt

Cut down on salt – use herbs. Avoid salty snacks like crisps.

• eating more fibre

Eat wholemeal bread every day. Use brown rice. Eat potatoes in their jackets. Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables.
