Getting good nutrition is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Healthy eating will help to keep you well or, if you are ill, help you to manage your condition, improve the quality of your life and even help to heal you.

Although nutrition facts are printed on the packaging of many products we buy, it is not always clear what they mean if you are trying to follow a healthy diet. Nutritional information should be about more than what the ingredients are; it should help you decide what to eat because you know what effects it will have on your body.

Find out about the nutritional values of common foods. What are the best foods for a healthy eating plan? Are so called health foods found in health food stores really good for you? Does it make a difference if you eat organic food? What  types of foods should be included in a healthy eating plan? And what about food and nutrition for kids?
