Aim to eat a balanced diet from all food groups. Include

  • protein foods 2-3 times a day(Meats, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds)
  • Three servings of vegetables (Dark green and yellow vegetables)
  • Two servings of fruit daily
  • Whole grains daily (Wimbi porride, ugali, pasta, rice )
  • Cook your food with healthy fat and oils
  • Take plenty of fluids (water, soups, smoothies)
