It’s true that salads are full of vitamins and minerals. Creamy mayonnaise-based salad dressings, however, can contain a lot of fat, sugar and salt. To enjoy a healthy, tasty salad at home, make a dressing by adding lemon juice or vinegar to a small amount of olive oil instead of using heavy mayonnaise.

Food companies like using the words ‘fat-free’ or ‘low-fat’ on their labels. Unfortunately they often replace the fat in these ‘healthier’ products with salt and sugar to give them flavour. It’s a good idea to read the whole label.

All fruit juices contain high amounts of sugar. Some juices have only very low amounts of fruit in them – and as much sugar as a glass of cola or a chocolate bar.

People think chocolate is bad for them, but it has some benefits. Good quality dark chocolate helps protect your heart by lowering your cholesterol. Eating chocolate also has a positive effect on how we feel. All chocolate is high in fat, though, so you shouldn’t eat it after every meal.

Red meat such as beef can be part of a healthy diet. Including red meat in a meal a couple of times a week helps your body to get enough iron and protein. Just make sure you trim off the fat and buy only lean meat.

The Extra one

Eggs are a good source of protein and vitamins. Frying an egg though, is less healthy than boiling them. A fried egg contains around 30% more fat than a boiled or poached egg. If you prefer fried eggs, try frying them in olive oil instead of butter.
