Fluids
Fluid is vital for health. Eight to ten cups of water, tea, coffee, milk or fruit juices should be consumed each day.
REMEMBER
- Eating a healthy diet is all about getting the balance right.
- A variety of foods should be chosen from each of the main food groups in the proportions shown
- It is not necessary to achieve this balance at each meal but it can apply to the food eaten over a day or even a week.
- There are no healthy or unhealthy foods, only healthy or unhealthy diets.
- Many dishes contain more than one food, so think about how each of the main ingredients contribute to your overall intake. For example, a pizza can contain a bread base, with vegetables, meat and cheese on top.
