Eating well is of huge importance to your overall health. Here at Healthy Ireland, we've rounded up some of the first steps you can take to make a difference.
Healthy eating guidelines help people make choices to maintain a healthy, balanced diet. The guidance is for everyone from 5 years upwards.
The guidelines are called Healthy Food for Life and the toolkit includes:
Healthy Ireland Food Plans and Guides
The key messages from Healthy Food for Life are:
We all want our kids to have the best possible start in life so getting their diet right is of huge importance. Children are better at making changes when the whole family do it together.
Knowing how much food to give your child can be difficult as it can depend on their age and activity levels. Portion size is a good place to start and is something you can introduce gradually for everyone in the family.
As a rule of thumb, a 5-year old should eat about half the amount that an adult does. Many adults eat larger portions than they need also. Try giving everyone smaller portions on their plates to start with and they can have more after if they’re still hungry. Using smaller plates, for children and adults, can help.
Go to safefood for more information on portion serving sizes.
We partner with the HSE and safefood on the START campaign, which helps parents make changes to their childrens' diets. It’s also a place where parents share tips with each other. You can check out some recipes, especially for kids, here.
Dinner is a busy time in any house. After a long day at work or school, preparing a healthy dinner when you are hungry and tired might be the last thing you feel like doing.
Many recipes can be made healthy without losing the taste. Here are a few tips that will help you adapt your favourite recipes to reduce fat, sugar, salt, calories and increase fibre without changing your diet radically.
Safefood have some very simple, healthy recipes you can follow (the calories are also stated). You can check out the recipes here.
Bord Bia also have recipes that combine a mixture of traditional and modern cuisine and you can check them out here.
The amount of fluid we need depends on how active we are and how warm it is. To stay healthy, we should drink about 8 cups or 1.6 litres per day. Water and milk are the best choices. Get into the habit of drinking water with all meals and carry it as a thirst quencher. Still water is kinder to teeth than sparkling varieties.
Drinking a large glass of wine is like eating a slice of pizza, when it comes to calories. If you drink a lot, it's likely to have an impact on your weight over time, as well as your general health. You can find information on calories in alcohol here.
Use the Ask About Alcohol Drinks Calculator to see what impact alcohol is having on your health, your wallet and your weight.
