A well-balanced diet with necessary nutrients and calories is essential for long-term health. An adequate diet helps to healthy growth, good ageing, and disease resistance.
More than half of the UK population is obese or overweight, fruit and vegetable consumption is declining, and the calorie density of the average shopping basket is increasing, indicating significant links between nutrition and health. Meanwhile, nearly three million individuals in the UK are malnourished, with 25% of those in hospitals and 42% of those in long-term care being malnourished.
