"You are what you eat" - six ways to eat smarter

1. Food like bread, pasta and rice should make up a half of your diet. This kind of starchy food is the main source of energy and fibre.

2. Fruits and vegetables are very important for our health. Eat fife portions of fresh or dried fruit and vegetables every day. They're one of the main source of vitamins and minerals and, what is more, are low in caloreis.

3. Don't eat much food and drinks like jam, sweets, fizzy drinks. They contain a lot of sugar and are high in calories, so try to eat them in moderation.

4. Drink still mineral water not carbonated which is high in sodium. Remember too much sodium is bad for your heart!

5. Eat lean meat, fish and eggs because they're a good source of protein.

6. Limit fatty food. It is better to choose unsaturated fats than saturated because they are healthier and can be found in vegetable oil, fish, such as mackerel and salmon, and soft margarine. Also, it is better to drink semi-skimmed milk than whole milk.
