Does eating carrots and vegetables prevent blurry vision and improve our eyesight? What foods should we eat to avoid having to wear glasses and getting sick? Are there vitamins that can actually improve our eye health? These are just some of the questions that have crossed our minds as we grow up, but how true and reliable are they?

Good nutrition is about eating right, which is why growing up, we are always told to not be picky eaters and maintain a good and balanced diet. The food you eat provides the important nutrients needed by your body. Eating a well-balanced and healthy diet will result in:

• A stronger immune system to fight diseases
• A reduced likelihood of falling ill
• Better overall physical health

Here are a few tips on how you can have a healthy diet and pick up good eating habits for a healthier body:

1. Eat more fruit and vegetables. They are rich in vitamins and minerals that keep your body healthy and strengthen your immune system. You should eat at least two servings of fruits and two servings of vegetables every day.
2. Eat a well balanced meal to obtain all the nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. 
3. Choose food products with the Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS). These products are generally lower in fat, saturated fat, sodium or sugar, and higher in calcium or wholegrains as compared to similar products within the same category.
