HOW TO STAY HEALTHY
1. _________________
People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables are less likely to have heart problems. A variety of
fruit and vegetables should make up about a third of the food you eat each day. You should eat at least
five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. A portion is e.g. a banana, an apple, a pear, one slice of
melon or pineapple or two plums. Remember that potatoes don’t count because they’re a starchy food.
2. _________________
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. And people with high blood pressure are three
times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke than people with normal blood pressure.
Lots of people think they don’t eat much salt, especially if they don’t add it to their food. But don’t be
so sure! Three-quarters (75%) of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as breakfast cereals,
soups, sauces and ready meals. So you could easily be eating too much salt without realizing it.
3. _________________
Having too much saturated fat can cause heart disease. Try to cut down on food that is high in
saturated fat, such as meat, pies, cheese, butter, lard, cream and cakes, and have foods that are rich in
unsaturated fat instead, such as vegetable oils (including sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil), oily fish,
avocados, nuts and seeds.
4. _________________
Having sugary foods and drinks too often can cause tooth decay, especially if you have them
between meals. Many foods that contain added sugar can also be high in calories, so cutting down
could help you control your weight. Try to eat fewer foods with added sugar, such as sweets, cakes and
biscuits, and drink fewer sugary soft and fizzy drinks.
5. _________________
 About 60% of your body weight is made of water. If you don’t get enough water, you can
become dehydrated. Severe cases of dehydration can cause dizziness, confusion, and even seizures.
Drink 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.
