So, what is good food?
All food is good. It’s about eating a variety of foods, and balancing the calories or energy you put into your body with what your body uses. Different people have different energy requirements depending on their age, gender and physical activity levels.
When we talk about healthy eating it’s about providing our bodies with a balance of nutrients to help it function well and keep us feeling great!
Healthy eating can be simple. Choose lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and include plenty of nutrient-rich reduced fat dairy foods, whole grain breads and cereals, and lean meats or alternatives. The Australian Dietary Guidelines for Children and
Adolescents, as well as the Dietary Guidelines for Australian Adults, provide simple recommendations to help you choose healthy foods and achieve a balanced diet.
It's important to combine eating well with regular physical activity. The National Physical Activity Guidelines encourage us to enjoy 30 minutes or more of moderate to intense physical activity on most, preferably all days of the week. This can be split into three, 10 minute sessions, and can include walking, running, cycling and dancing, to name a few.
