Today’s lesson is all about balance. It’s a word we tend to use a lot.
To keep your gut healthy and balanced you need plenty of good bacteria. Your little bottle of Yakult takes care of that. But you should also eat a healthy, balanced diet. As a very general rule, all of us could do with eating more fresh fruit and veg and more starchy, fibre-rich foods. And fewer of the harmful fatty, salty and processed foods.
Action
To be more precise, here’s a quick guide to how much of the good stuff you should try to get through today, tomorrow, and every day after that.
| Food Stuff | How Much |
| Bread, other cereals, potatoes | At least 3 servings |
| Fruit and vegetables | At least 5 servings |
| Milk and dairy foods | 3 servings |
| Meat, fish and alternatives | 2 servings |
| Fatty and sugary foods like chocolate and biscuits | In moderation |
