A Healthy Relationship With Food

How you think about food can be just as important as what you eat. Food is something to be savoured and enjoyed. Unfortunately, diet books and the media often imply that some foods are "bad" or that eating certain foods may cause health problems. In actual fact, it is your overall pattern of eating that affects your nutritional status and risk of certain diseases. The goal is to make nutritious choices most of the time, but it does not mean you need to eat "perfectly" at every meal.
