Tips and guidelines for following a healthy diet

Only bring what you need

Adjust your portion sizes to your daily activity levels to avoid overeating. Opt for half portions or light menus if you'll be sitting for the rest of the day, and prioritise methods such as steaming, baking, or grilling to avoid unnecessary fats.

Prioritise water

The best drink to accompany your meals is water. Avoid sugary drinks, which provide extra calories and increase the risk of diseases such as obesity or diabetes.

Control the salt

Taste before adding salt. Replace it with herbs, spices, or garlic to reduce its negative impact on health and the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.

Fruit and vegetables

Include at least 5 daily portions of fruit and vegetables. They are essential in your diet and reduce the risk of illnesses. Furthermore, fruit is hydrating, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and a healthy alternative to sweets.

Meat and dairy

Substitute fatty meats for chicken or turkey and opt for fibre and protein-rich legumes. Furthermore, consume skimmed dairy products as they are ideal for reducing saturated fats without losing essential nutrients.
