Here is some useful information, which is based on WHO recommendations, to follow a healthy diet, and the benefits of doing so.

Breastfeed babies and young children:

• • A healthy diet starts early in life - breastfeeding fosters healthy growth and may have longer-term health benefits, such as reducing the risk of becoming overweight and developing non-communicable diseases later in life.
  • Feeding babies exclusively with breast milk from birth to six months of life is important for a healthy diet. It is important to introduce a variety of safe and nutritious complementary foods at 6 months of age; while continuing to breastfeed until your child is 2 years old and beyond.

Eat plenty of vegetables and fruit:

• • They are very important sources of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, plant protein, and antioxidants.
  • People with diets rich in vegetables and fruit have a significantly lower risk of obesity, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Eat less fat:

• • Fats and oils are good sources of energy. Eating too much, mainly the wrong kinds of fat, like saturated and industrially-produced trans-fat, may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  • Using unsaturated vegetable oils (such as olive, soy, sunflower, or corn oil) rather than animal fats or oils high in saturated fats (such as butter, ghee, lard, coconut, and palm oil) will help consume healthier fats.
  • To avoid unhealthy weight gain, consumption of total fat must not exceed 30% of a person's overall energy intake.

Limit intake of sugars:

  • Choosing fresh fruits instead of sweet snacks like cookies, cakes, and chocolate helps reduce the consumption of sugars.
  • Limiting intake of soft drinks, soda and other drinks high in sugars (such as fruit juices, cordials and syrups, flavored milk, and yogurt drinks) also helps reduce intake of sugars.

Reduce salt intake:

• • Keeping your salt intake to less than 5h/day helps prevent hypertension and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke in the adult population.
  • Limiting the amount of salt and high-sodium condiments (such as soy sauce and fish sauce) when cooking and preparing foods helps reduce salt intake.
