🌰🥑 #Fats aren’t the enemy, despite the #LowFat trend! Your body needs fat to function. It’s the excess and unhealthy types that can be harmful. Reading #FoodLabels helps you prioritise products with unsaturated fats for a more #HealthyDiet.

🚫 Don’t be fooled by misleading #FoodLabels! 'Made with #WholeGrains' ≠ 100% whole grain. Instead, look for products with whole grains high on the ingredients list (ideally first or second after water), and low in salt and sugar.

While #NutriScore can assist in comparing products within the same food category, it isn't a flawless system. To make the most of this label, it's important to understand how to interpret it correctly and its limitations. 👇

🌳🌾🌱 How can we grow food and care for nature at the same time? #Agroforestry is one solution: it combines trees, shrubs & crops on the same land area to boost biodiversity, restore soil health & build resilient #FoodSystems. #WorldNatureConservationDay

Not sure how much is too much? 🍽️ #FoodLabels can help by showing the #ServingSize, but your #PortionSize may differ based on your needs, so listen to your body and let hunger and fullness cues guide you too.

Dietary Reference Values (#DRVs) on #FoodLabels are there to guide you on your daily energy and nutrient needs. Use them to: 🥫 Compare products 🥗 Get a general sense of daily nutrient needs 🧐 Make more informed food choices

♻️ Always start with reduce, reuse & recycle. #Biobased and #Biodegradable plastics are often marketed as sustainable, but that doesn’t mean they can be used carelessly or littered in streets or nature. Most only break down under specific industrial conditions.

🤱 #Breastfeeding does more than nourish. It supports the physical and emotional health of the mother and baby. See the image for World Health Organization (WHO)'s recommended duration, which starts with exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

🍼 Breast milk provides the ideal balance of nutrients for a baby’s growth and development while also protecting against infections and illnesses. But #DidYouKnow it also offers important health benefits for mothers too? 👇 #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

🛑 Think exercise will mess with your milk? Think again! Staying active doesn’t reduce #BreastMilk supply or change its taste, and it can actually boost your mood, energy & overall well-being. Start small and stay consistent. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

🤱 Breastfeeding is ideal for babies, but every journey is different. If #breastfeeding isn’t possible, formula is a safe alternative that supports your baby’s growth. Talk to your doctor or midwife to find the best option for your situation. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

🌍 By 2050, around 1 in 5 people will be aged 60 or older, making #HealthyAgeing more important than ever.

#DidYouKnow that protein needs increase as we age? Protein helps maintain muscle mass, strength, balance & independence. All key for #HealthyAgeing! Many dietary guidelines, like the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, already highlight this. 👇

Older adults are at greater risk of #MicronutrientDeficiencies, a form of malnutrition. Ageing affects how our bodies absorb and use nutrients, making eating a varied, #BalancedDiet more important than ever. 🍏
