Healthy food

The Danish Council on Nutrition has set up a number of dietary guidelines for a healthy, nutritional diet. If you follow these your diet will have the optimum balance and variation. It is har to follow all the guidelines to the point, but even small improvements will help.

Eat a varied diet

The eight dietary guidelines from the Council of Nutrition:

• Eat fruit and vegetables - at least six per day
• Eat fresh or tinned fish - several times weekly
• Eat potatoes, rice or pasta and wholemeal bread - every day
• Go easy on the sugar - especially in soft drinks, sweets, cakes and pastries
• Limit your intake of fat  - especially from dairy produce and meat
• Eat a varied diet - and maintain your normal weight
• Drink water - when you are thirsty
• Be physically active  - at least 30 minutes every day

Actually, it is quite simple

If you eat too much, or if you eat the wrong food, you will gain weight, which may result in health problems.
If you eat a good, varied diet you will maintain your normal weight and feel better.
