Introduction To The Dietary Guidelines :

Eating does not merely satisfy our hunger - it is also a pleasant social

activity.  Friendships and family ties are often forged over the dining

table.  With more varieties of food available, it is easy to lose sight of

the principles that guide healthy eating.  As the food you eat affects

your health and well-being, it is important to consciously choose a

healthy diet.

What Is Healthy Eating ?

Healthy eating is selecting a balanced diet that is high in dietary fibre
and low in fat, cholesterol, sugar and salt. It also means having different
types of food in the right amounts and not overeating any one type of
food.

If you are between 18 to 65 years of age, these Dietary Guidelines are
for you. Use them to help you and your family plan and choose nutritious
meals.

Start eating healthily today.  Remember - you are never too young nor
too old to start!
