Food And Nutrition
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is not only important to maintain a healthy weight, but also helps to keep us in good health. Here we focus on all things food and nutrition-related to help you eat well and improve your wellbeing.
What is Nutrition?
Nutrition is the nourishment or energy that we get from our intake of food.
A nutritious, balanced diet is important in making sure we get all the nutrients we need for our bodies to work at their best. Eating well can help to prevent conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, stroke and even some cancers. What we eat and drink can also have an effect our mood and anxiety levels. In this section you’ll find information not only about what to eat, but also how the food we consume can really protect our health.
