Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
Eat breakfast everyday - research shows it helps you stay full for longer throughout the day.
Choose different coloured fruits and vegetables - this will ensure that you get a wide variety of nutrients.
Avoid fizzy drinks - one can or bottle could contain up to 10 teaspoons of sugar (that's more than a bar of chocolate!).
Take a healthy snack wherever you go to stave off those hunger pangs and ensure you don't get tempted by a less healthy alternative.
Drink up to 6 glasses of water a day.

SCHOOL FOOD IS CHANGING

There are some major changes being made to the food provided at your school. From now on, all school meals will contribute towards a healthy diet and the fuel you need to be at your best every day. That's great news for you because a healthy diet affects how you look, how you perform and how you feel.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Improving your eating habits won't just do wonders for your health; it can help you out in a number of other ways. For example, eating more oily fish can improve your brain power and increase your level of concentration - perfect for exam time. Snacking on fruit instead of packets of crisps and biscuits keeps your skin looking great, while drinking lots of water stops you feeling tired and keeps you hydrated.
