Diet

Healthy alternatives
  • Eat healthy regular meals.
  • Limit between meal snacks, and make healthy choices such as fruit, cheese and nuts.
  • Try not to substitute sweet snacks with high-salt/high-fat snacks, as these may lead to other health problems.
  • Choose artificially-sweetened milk drinks instead of acidic soft drinks and sports drinks. Alternatives that taste good can be included within a well-balanced healthy diet. Many soft drinks contain caffeine which is addictive, so if you find it difficult to reduce these, try coffee-flavoured milk drinks.
  • Drink fluoridated tap water where available, and use it for coffee, tea and in cooking.
