Good food can be familiar food

Healthy eating can reflect your culture, budget and local food choices. WHO highlights a varied diet that meets nutritional needs without relying heavily on foods high in salt, free sugars or unhealthy fats.

Vegetables, fruit, beans and whole grains can all contribute to that variety. If you have been given a medical diet or restrictions, ask your clinician how general guidance fits your own care plan.

Questions for your everyday routine

• Look for variety across the foods you normally buy.
• Compare packaged foods for salt and added sugars.
• Read the source guide before making major dietary changes.
