Food first

General healthy eating priorities

1

Vegetables & fruit

Aim for plenty of colour across the day - fresh, frozen or canned all count.

2

Protein foods

Include a source of protein at most meals - fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, beans, tofu or lentils.

3

Whole grains

Choose higher-fibre options like oats, brown rice, quinoa and whole-grain bread.

4

Healthy fats

Olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado and oily fish in sensible amounts.

5

Hydration

Drink when thirsty; water is the best default. See the Water Intake Estimator.

6

Balance, not perfection

Consistency over weeks matters more than any single meal.

Supplements: discuss with a professional

For most people, food can cover nutritional needs. In specific situations (such as vegan diets for vitamin B12, limited sun exposure for vitamin D, or higher iron needs), a healthcare professional may suggest discussing a supplement. We never recommend self-prescribing supplements - talk to a qualified professional about your individual needs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a multivitamin?

Not necessarily. Most people can meet needs with a varied diet. Some groups may benefit from specific nutrients - discuss it with a professional.

Can this guide replace a dietitian?

No. This is general guidance. For medical conditions, allergies or individualised plans, see a registered dietitian or doctor.
