By transforming the way we think, feel, and behave around food, we can improve our own health and wellbeing. Eating a balanced diet and staying active is a great way to improve your overall health.
Care Home Nutrition Toolkit
Public Health have worked with Food Active and a few care homes across the Borough to bring care home staff this new toolkit to help our older people to ‘Age Well’; a hard copy was posted to each care home in Feb 2023. For further information email publichealthadmin@blackburn.gov.uk
Eat Well Guide
The Eat Well Guides gives examples of plates showing how much of each food group we should eat to make a healthy, balanced meal. We should aim to eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day to get all the vitamins, minerals and fibre we need to stay healthy. Other food groups include proteins, dairy and starchy food. Foods high in sugar and fat should be eaten less often.
