Festive drinks don’t need alcohol 😉 @who.int reminds us that no amount of alcohol is risk-free for our health, so why not opt for a traditional holiday beverage that is naturally alcohol-free this season? Have you tried any of these, or do you have other non-alcoholic favourites?

#VitaminD plays an important role in keeping our bones, muscles and immune system healthy. During winter, getting enough can be more challenging when sunlight is limited. Depending on where you live and your sun exposure, supplements may be worth considering. 👇☀️

Feeling full after a meal can help you avoid over-snacking or cravings later in the day. But what actually keeps you satisfied? Surprisingly, taste and texture play only a small role. What really matters is having a #BalancedMeal, especially one rich in fibre. ☝️

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝘆𝘁𝗵! 🙅 The idea that oranges can fight off a cold comes from their #VitaminC content, a nutrient that supports normal immune function. But no single food can prevent a cold. Staying healthy depends on overall good nutrition, regular sleep & physical activity.

Winter is a good reminder to stay on top of your #micronutrients. In winter, we produce less #VitaminD because of the less sunlight. It’s also a time when other nutrients matter for supporting a healthy immune system. Here are the foods to look out for this winter 👇

Looks brown, so it must be #WholeGrain, right? Not always! 🍞 Brown bread can get its colour from molasses or additives, not necessarily from whole grains. 👇 Learn how to spot

Don’t fall for misleading claims! 🚫 Products labelled ‘stoneground’ or ‘seven-grain’ might sound healthier options, but they’re not always #Wholegrain. 🧐 Always check the label and look for “whole” or “whole grain” before the grain name. It should be one of the first ingredients.

Children aged 2 to 10 are recommended to eat 40 to 70 g of whole grains per day. 📊 But guess what? Most kids in Europe don’t eat enough #WholeGrains! Making the switch can help boost their energy and support their overall well-being. 🧠🔋

Not a fan of fish? 🐟 Before grabbing #FishOil pills, know this: studies on omega-3s and improved brain health are inconsistent. Still, supplements are likely beneficial if you rarely eat fish, but real seafood delivers far more nutrients for your brain and body.
