Who cares about your diet?

When it comes to living a healthier life, what you eat can make a real difference.

Every day your body needs a range of essential nutrients to help it build and repair tissue, support a strong immune system and give you energy for everyday activities. A healthy, balanced diet can help you feel on top form and help keep your teeth, skin and hair in good condition. It's also important to keep fat, salt and sugar intake low as well as increase your intake of natural fibre. Over a number of years, a healthy diet, which provides a good intake of vitamins and minerals, can help you stay healthy. Remember, poor diet is a contributor to many conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis.
