For healthy diets, eat a variety of minimally processed and unprocessed foods to ensure you get enough essential micronutrients while reducing unhealthy fats, sugars and salt.
🥗🫛🍊🥑 Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts and seeds with limited to moderate amounts of animal source foods such as fish, lean meat and dairy.
Aim for:
☑️ Adequacy (enough nutrients),
☑️ Balance (protein, fats and carbs),
☑️ Moderation (less of what harms our health),
☑️ Diversity (different food groups).
