On top of the usual winter blues, the start of the year has also meant living with lockdown for many of us. All of this can have a detrimental impact on our mental health and wellbeing. While there is not one food or drink that can boost your mood, research does show that maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can help support good physical and mental health.
To help people put healthy eating into practice during these difficult times, the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) has shared its top tips on how to maintain a healthy diet – no matter what’s going on in the world!

Think about what you can add to your diet in terms of having a variety of foods and drinks from the main food groups, rather than worrying too much about what you should remove.
Plan ahead: You don't have to stick to a complicated menu plan, but noting down ideas for meals for the next day or two will help you organise what you need, without the stress of always having to think of what to have each mealtime.
