FATS : All authorities are agreed that we eat far too much fat - especially

animal fat. So:

• Eat only small portions of meat, cheese, eggs and butter.
• Avoid cream.
• Instead of butter, use low-fat spreads most of the time.
• Try to avoid fried foods - go in for grilling instead.

FRUIT : Eat lots and lots of fruit! That's one of the things the human body is meant to 'work' on. Recent Government advice is that you should try and eat at least 5 (five) pieces of fruit per day.
FIBRE : Get plenty of fibre. That's the stuff our ancestors lived on! Today, you can get fibre from vegetables (like beans, peas and leafy things), cereals, bread (especially wholemeal bread), fruit and bran.
SUGAR : Keep it to a minimum. We all get a heck of a lot of it through canned goods and processed foods. The average British intake is well over a pound a week. Don't add to it by putting even more sugar in your grub, or in your tea and coffee.
SALT : Keep your intake of this pretty low too. Many experts think that the salt in the cooking should be enough for anyone. Adding more at the table isn't great for the kidneys and the blood pressure.
ALCOHOL : Keep your intake low. Although a little red wine may be good for the heart, having a lot of booze certainly tends to shorten your life.
TOTAL FOOD INTAKE : Try and keep this relatively small if possible. Alas, those who eat a lot are less likely to survive into old age. Experiments with mice have shown that those which eat less, tend to live much longer. And among humans, you don't see many overweight people getting the Queen's telegram!
