While I feel well, part 2

So, I'm exercising almost every day.

The next step in improving my overall health is looking at my diet.

So I have been looking at the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. The diagram below gives the overview of what a healthy diet should look like.

The guide gives a breakdown of actual number of serves recommended from each food group, for people on the basis of sex and age.

Looking at it, there are a lot of changes I need to make.  The biggest will be to get five serves of vegetables into my diet each day.  But a few weeks ago, getting exercise into every day seemed a major challenge, so I'll do this the same way - work up to it.  I'm going to look for ways to include more vegetables in my diet day by day, until it eventually becomes a habit.

Once I get that under control, I'll start looking at how well I balance the other food groups.
