Food and drinks high in fat, salt and sugar.

Chocolate, cakes, biscuits, full-sugar soft drinks, butter and ice cream are all foods high in fat, salt and sugars. These types of foods are not needed in our diet so if consumed, have them in small amounts and less often. If you consume these types of foods and drinks often how about an easy challenge for yourself and your family, have a go at limiting how often you have them and try to have smaller amounts and try to record your changes to see how far you’ve come.

Food and drinks high in fat, salt and sugar have lots of energy in them which can be bad for our waistline and teeth and can cause many other health problems like becoming overweight, obesity, high blood pressure and tooth decay amongst others
