HOW TO STAY HEALTHY
1. __________________
People who eat a lot of fruit and
vegetables are less likely to have heart
problems. You should eat at least five
portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
One portion is for example, a banana, an
apple, one slice of melon or pineapple.
Remember that potatoes are not included
on that list.
2. _________________
Having sugary foods and drinks too often
can cause tooth decay. Cutting down on
sugar will help you control your weight.
Sugar is added to many types of food for
example, fizzy drinks, juices, sweets,
cakes and ice cream.
3. __________________
Eating too much salt can raise your blood
pressure. And people with high blood
pressure are three times more likely to
develop heart disease than people with
normal blood pressure. Three-quarters
(75%) of the salt we eat is already in the
food we buy. So you could easily be eating
too much salt without realizing it.
4. __________________
We should be drinking about 6 to 8 glasses
of water every day and even more when the
weather is warm. Don’t drink too much
coffee or tea as they can dehydrate you.
