Serving all meals with a side salad is an easy way to ensure you eat all the vegetables you need for a healthy balanced diet;
• Leave the skin on vegetables so that you get all the fibre. The skin of fruits and vegetables is nutrient rich and contains most of the fibre, an important micronutrient used by the gastrointestinal system for digestion;
• A low fat cheese to the top before baking for a calcium-rich treat. Calcium is an important micronutrient found mainly in dairy products which is used to build healthy teeth and bones. Eating extra calcium is especially important for:
