Why 5 a Day? 400g fruit and vegetables a day can help us to stay healthy Great source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals Make a good healthy, handy and sometimes cheap snack i.e. banana 19p! Help to prevent constipation due to their high dietary fibre content May reduce risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke
Slide 12-

www.dh.gov.uk What Counts? Fresh Frozen Tinned Canned Dried
Slide 13-

Food for Thought Do potatoes count towards our 5 a day target? No. They’re classed as a carbohydrate. Would eating 4 apples mean each could be counted as a portion of fruit and veg? Yes. The whole fruit contains all the natural fibre so would count. Would drinking 5 glasses of fruit juice mean I will have met the 5 a day target? No. Only one glass of fruit juice counts towards 5 a day total due to its high sugar content and lack of fibre
Slide 14-

Carbohydrates Q: What are they? A: Sugars and starches that provide our bodies with energy (calories) to function Dietary sources come in two forms; Simple Fructose (fruit sugar), sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and glucose Sweets, sugary pop Complex/starchy Bread, flour, rice, pasta, breakfast cereals Good source of calcium, iron and B vitamins
Slide 15-

Fruit and vegetables and pulses also provide carbohydrates; a mixture of starches and sugars Recommended dietary intake: 33% starchy carbs, 50% total carbs Our bodies store unused carbohydrate in the liver and muscles but when full, excess carbohydrate is stored as fat Too little carbs  weakness, poor concentration (not enough fuel to the brain), constipation
Slide 16-

Q: Are carbohydrates fattening? A: Gram for gram carbohydrates contain less than half as many calories as fat. Cooking methods affect the calorie content of carbohydrate foods, as does adding fats and oils to taste Q: What about low carbohydrate diets? A: Low carbohydrate diets don’t represent each food group which may lead to symptoms related to the imbalanced dietary intake. Our body quickly moves from obtaining energy from fat stores onto digesting muscles
Slide 17-

Wholegrains Wheat, barely, rye, oats and rice 3 layers; Fibre rich outer layer (bran) Nutrient packed inner area (germ) Central starchy part (endosperm) Processing removes the bran and germ  white variety Surveys show 95% of adults don’t consume enough Soluble & non-soluble fibre to prevent constipation, lower cholesterol and encourage healthy gut bacteria
Slide 18-

May risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers Aim for 3 servings daily Low ‘GI’ (slow release of energy) which may keep you fuller for longer Look out for ‘Whole’ before the name of the cereal Ideas: Wholegrain cereals and cereal bars with yoghurt or milk for breakfast or as snacks Wholemeal, granary, multigrain bread instead of white Oatmeal and whole-oats to make flapjack Quinoa, bulgur wheat, brown rice in salads or with curries
Slide 19-

Protein: Meat, Fish and Alternatives Moderate amounts Choose low fat/lean options where possible Cut visible fat off meat products and avoid poultry skin Try avoid processed meat products due to their high saturated fat content Fish twice a week (not fried!), one oily Eggs – FSA puts no limit on intake Mycoprotein (QuornTM), soya protein and tofu are also good low fat protein sources
Slide 20-

Protein: Milk and Dairy 2-3 portions daily Milk (1/3 pint), cheese (40g), yoghurt (1 pot) Healthy adults should choose low fat options if possible Plant based alternative milk drinks i.e. soya better to get fortified sugar free version Snack/dessert idea: Try plain yoghurt with strawberries or blueberries for sweetness or adding it to curries instead of cream
Slide 21-

High Fat/Sugary Foods <8% of intake Can be consumed as part of a healthy balanced diet Include crisps, sweets, cakes, biscuits, sugary drinks Provide relatively little nutritional benefit Many are highly processed so may contribute a large amount of salt to the diet
Slide 22-

Fat We need some fats in our diet as they provide energy and some vitamins. Some our body cannot make; essential fatty acids (EFAs) Saturated (animal products) Trans (cakes/biscuits)  blood cholesterol Monounsaturated (olive/rapeseed oils, avocados) Polyunsaturated (sunflower, corn, sesame oil)  blood cholesterol
Slide 23-

Omega 3 Sardines Salmon Mackerel, kippers Herrings Tuna Swordfish Halibut, trout Plant sources linseed, walnuts and walnut oil Healthy Heart EFAs: our body cannot make them so we have to obtain them through dietary sources
Slide 24-

Grill, boil, steam or poach instead of frying and roasting Cutting off all visible fat, removing poultry skins, skim fat off mince from casseroles Use an olive based or low fat spread instead of butter Choose lower fat dairy products Keep hidden sources of saturated fat to a minimum i.e. biscuits, pies etc. How to saturated fat intake
Slide 25-

Salt is falling, all around us Consuming too much salt in our diet can lead to high blood pressure  risk of heart disease and stroke Lots of foods have hidden salt – check labels Current average intake is 8.6g (2 tsp) Recommended: 6g ~ 75% of salt is hidden in food already! Ready meals, soup, sauces, cereals, crisps stock cubes, processed meats, smoked fish
Slide 26-

Tips to reduce salt intake Don’t add during cooking or at the table Use herbs and spices or lemon juice Look at labels, check for lower salt varieties Ask in restaurants for no salt 2 weeks no salt – taste buds can adjust so persist

Slide 28-

Meal Pattern Regular balanced meals are recommended Missing meals may result in higher quantities of high energy foods being craved and consumed Plan ahead Meal times are a good opportunity to get the family together ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day’ - break the fast! people who consume a fortified breakfast cereal tend to have higher intakes of vitamins and minerals
Slide 29-

Watch your Weight After eating we should feel satisfied, not stuffed! Measurement of weight to height used by most health professionals; - BMI (Body Mass Index) A BMI outside of the desirable 20-25Kg/m2 may reflect a higher risk of developing health problems
Slide 30-

Aim to lose weight slowly (1-2 pounds/week) Input V Output Base intake on the Eatwell Plate
Slide 31-

Nutrition Labelling Look out for; Fat & saturated fat, sugar, salt All food labels contain a nutritional analysis panel which is key to choosing a healthier diet These will tell you how much of each nutrient there is in a single portion and /100 grams
Slide 32-

The Media Health claims often reported in the media Sponsored studies  biased results Sample sizes of the test group may be small so the results can’t be generalised to everyone Financial gain? Some products expensive Be critical, may have to take with a (small) pinch of salt!

Public Health Websites Change4Life: Great website aimed at families Discusses practical ways to achieve a ‘healthy lifestyle’ ‘Eat well, move more, live longer’ (Change4Life, 2012) NHS Choices: Information resource for diet, health and lifestyle in general Gender and age sections
