Balanced Nutrition for the Whole Family

Healthy eating does not need to be complicated. A few simple principles work for every age.

Build a balanced plate

• Half the plate: vegetables and fruit.
• A quarter: lean protein such as fish, chicken, eggs or legumes.
• A quarter: whole grains such as brown rice, oats or wholemeal bread.

Hydration in a hot climate

Water should be the main drink for adults and children. Keep sugary drinks and juices as occasional treats.

When to get support

A clinical nutritionist can help with weight management, diabetes, high cholesterol or nutrition before and after bariatric surgery.
