Non-urgent advice: Get the right balance
The Eatwell Guide shows how much of what we eat overall should come from each food group to achieve a healthy, balanced diet.
Most of us still are not eating enough fruit and vegetables. They should make up over a third of the food we eat each day. Aim to eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and veg each day.
Find out more on the Eat well website of what makes a healthy diet.
How does the Eatwell Guide work?
The Eatwell Guide divides the foods we eat and drink into 5 main food groups.
Try to choose a variety of different foods from each of the groups to help you get the wide range of nutrients your body needs to stay healthy.
