The Eat Well Plate shows how much of what you eat should come from each food group. This includes everything you eat during the day, including snacks.
So, try to eat:

• plenty of fruit and vegetables
• plenty of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods – choose wholegrain varieties whenever you can
• some milk and dairy foods
• some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein
• just a small amount of foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar

There are many emotional illnesses or problems that people face which could be related to the things that they eat. Some of these include: depression; anxiety; ME, chronic fatigue syndrome; postnatal depression; schizophrenia; insomnia; pre menstrual syndrome; ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

Experiencing these problems or illnesses can also affect how a person feels about eating. For example, feeling anxious or depressed can result in a loss of appetite or lack of interest in food. However, eating regularly and eating more of certain foods can have a positive impact on our mental health, and the symptoms associated with poor mental health.
