Nutrition and eating well

Nutrition feeds our wellbeing - both physical and mental. Eating a good diet, low in sugar, salt and saturated fat, and rich in vegetables, fruit, whole grains and beans, can reduce the chances of developing diabetes and high blood pressure, and make it easier to keep your appetite (and weight) under control.

A note on alcohol:

Calories from alcohol can only be stored as fat, so have more days when you don’t drink than when you do. As well as excess alcohol being bad for your mental health, too much booze can make weight control harder, and it can speed up bone thinning (osteoporosis).
