Eat less fat, salt and sugar. Ensure you eat some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs and pulses. It's also important to eat a variety of foods to make sure we get all the nutrients our bodies need
• Fruit and vegetables should make up a third of the food you eat. Aim to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day, these can be fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or cooked. A glass of fruit juice can also make up one of your portions each day. As a guide, a portion means one apple or banana, two smaller fruits such as plums, 2-3 tablespoonfuls of vegetables
