This blog, by Newcastle North PCN Dietitian Carrie Eckersley, explains the role of healthy food and vitamins in supporting overall health and wellbeing. It highlights the importance of eating a balanced and varied diet to ensure the body receives essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein, and healthy fats.
The blog encourages people to focus on getting most of their nutrients from whole foods including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and different sources of protein, rather than relying heavily on supplements. It also provides practical guidance on building healthy eating habits, such as reducing sugar and salt, drinking enough water, eating regular meals, and enjoying food in moderation as part of a balanced lifestyle.
