The Eatwell Guide

The Eatwell Guide shows how much of what we eat overall should come from each food group to achieve a healthy, balanced diet.

You do not need to achieve this balance with every meal, but try to get the balance right over a day or even a week.

Water, drinks and hydration

Find out which drinks are healthier choices, and how to get enough fluids every day to stay hydrated. 

Water is a healthy and cheap choice to keep you hydrated, but other drinks can also count towards your fluid intake.  We also get some fluids from the foods we eat.

Not enough fluids can lead to dehydration.
