Eat your way to good health

1

We all know that a varied diet with the right combination of protein, carbohydrates and fresh fruit and vegetables is necessary for good health.

2

However, modern living and a busy lifestyle often mean that many of us don't have time to eat proper well-balanced meals. We seem to be relying too much on 'fast foods' to match our fast lives. The problem with these foods though is that they are high in bad things like fat and calories, but low in the good things like vitamins and minerals. If you are only eating this sort of 'junk' food, then you've got a poor diet.

3

A poor diet can lead to lots of health problems. These include allergies and tiredness or much more serious illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. The additives which are put in processed foods can also cause illness. Additives are used to add colour, fla­vour and long life to foods, but they can be quite harmful if you eat too many of them.

4

If you eat raw and organic foods, you will be much healthier. Therefore, it makes sense to eat organically grown fruit and vegetables whenever you can. Try to stop drink­ing coffee and stop using sugar, too. Also, it is good idea to take vitamin and mineral tablets if you know your diet is not as healthy as it should be.

5

A good time to think about healthy eating is when you are shopping, read the list of ingredients on food packets to find out if there are a lot of additives so you can avoid them. Foods that contain a lot of additives include: processed meats, soft drinks, tinned fruit, margarine and biscuits.

6

All in all, a few simple changes to your diet can make a big difference to your health. Eat the right things and you can eat your way to good health.

Manchester food and drink festival

Last year's festival was the biggest yet with most of Manchester taking part and staging nearly 600 food-related offers and events. In Albert Square, at the Taste, Dine and Learn event, 30,000 visitors got the chance to try and buy the best of the region's produce, eat at the best restaurants the city has to offer, and learn how to cook from famous regional and national chefs!

Events

This year there are even more events than before. For a full list of events, go to the festival's website at www.foodanddrinkfestival.com. The main event is Taste, Dine and Learn and, as always, is held in Albert Square in the heart of the city. At the Taste tent this year, you can enjoy cuisine from across the Mediterranean and if you have a sweet tooth, you can finish your sampling with Italian ice cream! For a real taste of Man­chester, visit the Dine tent with its dishes from 25 of the city's finest restaurants. This is one meal that you cannot afford to miss.
