Answer:
Eating a wide variety of healthy foods helps to keep you in good health and to protect against chronic disease.
Eating a well-balanced diet means eating a variety of foods from each of the five food groups daily, in the recommended amounts.
It is also important to choose a variety of foods from within each food group.
Takeaway foods, cakes, biscuits and soft drinks are examples of foods usually high in saturated fat, added salt or added sugars. They should be considered as extras to your usual diet and only eaten occasionally and in small amounts.
Daily food serves are different for children, teenagers, women and men.
Explanation:
Eating a variety of foods from the five major food groups provides a range of different nutrients to the body, promotes good health and can help reduce the risk of disease – as well as keeping your diet interesting with different flavours and textures!
Many of the foods that often feature regularly in modern diets do not form part of the five food groups. These foods, sometimes referred to as ‘junk’ foods, ‘discretionary choices’ or ‘occasional foods’ can be enjoyed sometimes, but should not feature regularly in a healthy diet. Fats and oils are high in kilojoules (energy) but necessary for a healthy diet in small amounts.
No matter where you’re starting, it’s easy to make little changes to bring your eating closer in line with the Australian Dietary Guidelines. Just focus on eating foods from the five major food groups and reducing your intake of occasional foods.
