We need to have a balanced diet, so we need to eat the right amounts of the different food groups (carbohydrates and fibre, fruit and vegetables, proteins and iron, dairy products and fats)

potatoes.

our diet. Examples: olive oil, salmon and nuts.

A list of healthy snacks: fruit, ham, carrots or yoghurt.
