      Take 5 Eat Well, Stay Well

      Carbohydrates

      Carbohydrates provide the body with the most readily acessible form of energy. Carbohydrates in the form of sugard are found in fruit, milk and sugar; starch carbohydrates are familiar in cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, bread and pulses. In a healthy diet, starch carbohydrates supply a higher porportion of energy that fats or sugar carbohydrates.With the recent craze for for low-carbohydrate diets, you may be forgien for thinking that carbohydrates are best avoided. Om fact this couldn't be further from the truth. Most nutritionists agree that foods in this group are an important part of a healthy balanced diet. However, not all carbs are equal. Most of the vitamins and protective components in grains are concentrated in the bran and germ layers of the grain, but when grains are refined, as for instance in the production of white flour, the bran and germ are removed and most of the fibre and some of the nutrietns are stripped away. This is why it is bette to coose wholegrain carbohydrates such as brown rice and wholeneal bread over refined carbohydrates. Studies have shown that diets rich in wholgrain foods can redue the risk of heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancer and Type 2 diabetes.

      Nutrition labelling

      The five key nutirents are calories, sugar, fat,  saturated fat and salt. Two sets of guidelines that claim to help is select a healthy balanced diet are currently in use. The traffic light scheme developed by the Food Standards Agency provides information on fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt and uses a red, amber or green colour coding to indicate whether a good is high, medium or low in these nutrients. The other scheme is based on Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs)(also see here) and gives an indication of how many calories, fat, salt, sugar and fibre a food contains and what it contributes to the amount of that nutrient you should eat in a day. GDAs are guideines for an average person of a healthy weight and average level of activity, and are just that - a guide, not a target. You should try to eat no more than the GDAs for sugars, fat, saturated fat and salt. The GDA values on the front of pack labels are based on the average requirements of an adult woman.

      Five a day

      One of the easiest ways to stay healthy is to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. We can probably all remember being told by our parents to ear our 'greens' because they were good for us, and all the major reports on healthy earing have endorsed this good advice. It's no coincidence that in Mediterranean countries, where people eat almost twice the amount of fruit and vegetables that we do in the UK, they live longer and healthier lives. Fruit and vegetables contain an arsenal of disease-fighting compounds - vitamins, minerals, fibre and phytochemicals, which is why nutrition experts belive that they are the cornerstone of a healthy diet. Eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables can reduve the risk of a range of medical problems, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, certain types of cancer, cataracts and the eye condition called age-related macular degeneration, dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

      Variety is key

      Wherever we shop, most of us are lucky enough to have a wide range of different fruits and vegetables available to us, but do we really take advantage of the range? It's very easy to get stuck in a rut of buying the same things from one week to the next. Variety may be the spice of live, but it's also the key to a healthy diet and is particularly important when it comes to fruit and vegetables. Different coloured fruit and vegetables contain different vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that help to keep you healthy in different ways, and so to make sure you get a good selection of all these nutrients you need to eat a variety of different produce. When you're buying fruit and vegetables don't just stick to your same old favourites - be adventurous and try something new. You'll find plenty of recipes to tempt you in this book.

      Add colour to your meals

      You probably already know that you should be eating at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day, but did you know should should also be eating a rainbow? When you're planning meals, aim to fill your plate with colour - think of red, orange, yellow, green and purple fruit and vegetables and try to eat at least one serving from each of the colour bands every day.
