Good eating habits

• Drink water, little and often throughout the day.
• Eat something in the morning – it does not have to be first thing as you jump out of bed, but eating something when you get up will replenish your blood glucose levels and fuel your brain and your body.
• Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day – they’re great as snacks and if you have at least 1 serving per meal, you’ll easily make this target.
• Go for colour. Check you are eating a variety of colourful fruit and vegetables – think yellow, red, green and orange.
• Eat as wide a variety of foods as possible. If you can count up the number of different foods you eat on your 10 fingers, you need to add more kinds to your diet. This will help you get a greater choice of nutrients and fibre sources.
• Avoid long periods without eating. This will help stabilise your blood glucose levels and make you less likely to over-eat, or grab an unhealthy snack, later.
• Rate your food hunger. On a scale of 1–5 (1= starving, 5= stuffed). Aim to eat before you reach “1” and stop eating before you reach “5”.
• Take time to eat. It sounds obvious, but it will help you eat more balanced diet and avoid excess calorie intake. Studies show that individuals eat up to 15% more calories when they are in rush at meal times.
• Chew your food. Proper chewing can aid your digestion, and has been shown to reduce symptoms off irritable bowel syndrome.
• Avoid fad diets. There are no miracle foods – good health requires you to eat a variety of quality food in moderation.
