The wonderful world of nutrition
It can be a real minefield trying to wade through the varying and often contradictory advice and information out there on nutrition. We all know we should eat well in order to feel and be well. We know that healthy eating is important and can protect us from diseases like heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. But what exactly does healthy eating look like?
The current Government Eatwell Guidelines are unfortunately outdated and not based on the latest nutrition evidence. If you are looking for general guidelines on how to structure your diet, the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine, BANT, have come up with a comprehensive Wellness Solution - an alternative and much improved Eatwell plate. It's a great visual tool to help you get a good overview of what a healthy diet should consist of.
Following the recommendations from the BANT Wellness Solution is a good starting point to get you on track. If you have a specific aim or goal you want to achieve through nutrition - such as managing a chronic condition, losing weight or achieving optimum nutrition on a particular diet like a keto, vegetarian or vegan diet - then you might want to consider getting some personal help and advice.
