Eating well

When we eat well it:

  • boosts our energy and mood
  • helps our digestion
  • helps us maintain a healthy weight
  • supports our immune system

This is important all through the year, but is especially important during winter.

Help to eat well

  • Try out a new recipe with loved ones to connect and help build skills and confidence in the kitchen. Find healthy recipes on the Samsung Communities page.
  • Choose seasonal and frozen fruit, vegetables, beans, and pulses for your 5 a day. They are often cheaper.
  • If you are short of time, a few hours of batch cooking can help with quick and healthy meals on busy days.
  • Include something healthy in every meal.
  • Swap snacks. For example, swap crisps for vegetables and houmous, or a handful of nuts.
