How to eat a balanced diet?

The dietitian advises consuming UPFs in limited amounts as part of a varied diet. A balanced diet means eating a wide range of foods from different food groups, ensuring you get all the necessary nutrients. This approach prioritises overall dietary patterns and moderation over strict avoidance of any single food type, even those that are ultra-processed.
