• Eat plenty of cereals (including breads, rice, pasta and noodles), preferably wholegrain.
• Include milks, yoghurts, cheeses and/or alternatives such as soy-based products. Reduced fat varieties should be chosen whenever possible (but low fat milk is not suitable for children under two years of age).
• Include lean meat, fish, poultry or alternatives.
• Drink plenty of water.

Make sure you:
• Limit saturated fats and moderate total fat intake.
