The food we eat directly links to our overall health, including our heart health ❤️

A varied and balanced diet will help to improve cognitive function, sleep, mood and fitness, while also protecting you against chronic disease.

What does a healthy diet look like?

Eating a well-balanced diet means eating a variety of foods from each of the five food groups daily, in the recommended amounts. This includes:

🥬 vegetables and legumes or beans – at least 5 serves a day
🍞 grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and high-fibre varieties – 4 to 6 serves a day
🍓 fruit – 2 serves a day
🍗 lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts, seeds, and legumes or beans – 2.5 to 3 serves a day
🥛 dairy and alternatives (mostly reduced fat) – 2.5 to 4 serves a day.

✅ If you are doing physical activity in the heat and find that your heart is pounding and you are gasping for air, stop all activity.

✅ Find a cool place to rest in the shade and drink water to replenish the fluids you have lost in the sweat.
