Eating healthy is pretty straightforward.
Dedicated followers of faddy diets like cabbage soup, food combining and blood type could be forgiven for thinking that there's no consensus on what to eat to keep you healthy and happy. With most dieters failing to hit their target weight, the multi million pound weight loss industry needs ever new and inventive ways to encourage the legions of veteran dieters to part with their cash. Promises of diets that are sure to work and need minimum effort are music to the ears of yo-yo dieters, and so another fad is born.
Take into account the reported dangers of food additives and preservatives or the perceived benefits of organic and whole foods, it is no wonder that many search around for healthy food lists and guides.
The smoke and mirrors approach of the diet industry has fuelled staggering profits. More people than ever are dieting but obesity rates are soaring.

We are now clearer than ever that food and nutrition can also affect your emotional and mental health. You can eat healthily for a vitalised, happier you and we are here to make it as easy as possible.
Take a look at some of our guides on the benefits of green tea, goji berries, pomegranate juice or cranberries and information on sugar free sweeteners , organic chocolate and wholegrain foods.

For decades though, Nutritionists and Doctors across the country have agreed on a diet that promotes sound (but unglamorous!) eating habits. It's not rocket science:
- Eat a low 'GL' diet which includes plenty of fruit, vegetables and wholegrains and cuts down on refined carbohydrates;
- Avoid ‘bad' saturated fats and ensure you eat essential fats like omega 3, 6 & 9;
- Cut down your intake of processed food especially refined sugar;
- Lower your intake of sodium.
