NUTRITION 

​

Food provides the energy and nutrients you need to be healthy. Nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water.

Learning to eat nutritiously is not hard.

 

The key is to:

Eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits and whole-grain products

Eat lean meats, poultry, fish, beans and low-fat dairy products

Drink lots of water

Go easy on the salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat and trans fat

 

Saturated fats are usually fats that come from animals. Look for trans fat on the labels of processed foods, margarines and shortenings.
