The importance of nutrition
You are what you eat! If you eat lots of fatty food, you will get fat. If you eat healthily, you will be more healthy and look better. Good nutrition is so important - just as important as regular exercise. The two go hand in hand - the more you exercise, the more your body will demand healthy food and drink. The more healthily you eat, the more energy you will have to exercise to your optimum potential, and the more nutrients your body will have for growth and repair. Think of nutrition and exercise as two sides of the same coin.

The principles of good nutrition

1. Eat smaller quantities and eat regularly
2. Always have breakfast
3. Don't rush your meals - chew thoroughly and digest properly
4. Drink at least 2 litres of water a day
5. Eat 3 portions of fruit a day
6. Eat 3-5 portions of salad/vegetables a day
7. Eat some lean protein with every meal (eg- fish, skinless chicken, fat free yoghurt)
8. Include plenty of complex carbohydrates with every meal (eg-brown bread, pasta)
9. Cut down on saturated fats, sugary snacks, alcohol.
10. Eat as wide a variety of healthy foods as possible
