Weight-bearing exercises – such as walking or weight training can strengthen bones and help maintain a healthy body weight.
Eat foods rich in calcium
Eat foods that are nutrient dense rather than energy dense, including eggs, lean meats, fish, liver, low-fat dairy foods, nuts and seeds, legumes, fruit and vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals.
Limit foods that are high in energy and low in nutrients such as cakes, sweet biscuits and soft drinks.
Limit the use of table salt, especially during cooking.
Be as active as possible to encourage your appetite and maintain muscle mass.
Babies 0 to 12 months
Do not add salt, sugar or honey to your baby’s food.
Avoid cow’s milk as a drink in the first 12 months.

under the age of six months.

Young Children and teenagers
Ensure your child has enough fluids, especially water. Fruit juices should be limited and soft drinks avoided.
Tooth decay can be prevented with regular brushing and visits to the dentist.
