Eating healthy

Eating good food is important to living a healthy life.

What you should eat may depend on your disability.

Good food usually includes:

• vegetables and legumes, like lentils and beans
• fruit
• cereals and grains, like bread and oats
• protein, like meat or tofu
• dairy, like milk or cheese.

There are also foods and drinks you should try not to eat very often.

They include:

• fatty foods, like chips
• foods and drinks high in sugar, like lollies or soft drinks.

You can talk to your doctor about what you should eat.
