If you follow a plant-based diet, you may risk removing essential nutrients for a healthy body. Here’s our advice on making sure you eat a balanced diet.

Your body needs lots of different nutrients to stay healthy. That means eating a variety of foods from each of the main food groups.

Fruit and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet. In general, the more you can eat the better.

Dairy foods are a great source of calcium, protein and vitamins. Calcium is needed to build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, pulses, beans and nuts are rich in protein.

We all need some fats in our diet to stay healthy. They provide energy and some vitamins. Eating too much or the wrong types of fat can be unhealthy. 

Treat foods are those that contain little or no nutritional value, but harmful amounts of salt, fat and sugar.
