Maintaining a healthy lifestyle

Healthy eating

Eating a balanced diet is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle for anyone. However, as testosterone deficiency (TD) is linked with obesity, heart conditions and type 2 diabetes, it is especially important for you to have healthy eating habits.1

The Eatwell Guide has been developed by Public Health England to help advise on healthy eating habits, by breaking our diet into 5 food groups.2

Food groups

Eatwell Guide

Use the Eatwell Guide to help you get a balance of healthier and more sustainable food. It shows how much of what you eat overall should come from each food group.

FRUITS & VEGETABLES PROTEIN DAIRY STARCHY CARBOHYDRATES OIL & SPREADS SNACKS, SWEETS & SOFT DRINKS > FLUID INTAKE NUTRITION LABELS PER DAY 2000 kcal 2500 kcal = ALL FOOD + ALL DRINKS
