Healthy Eating and Drinking Resources
Tools and information to help you make healthier choices
Making changes to what we eat and drink can support our physical health, energy levels and overall wellbeing.
We’ve brought together a small selection of useful NHS and local resources to help you make informed choices about food and drink, manage your alcohol intake and find healthier alternatives.
Better Health Food Scanner
The NHS Food Scanner app can help you make healthier choices when shopping for food and drinks.
Simply scan the barcode of a product using your phone to see information about its nutritional content and find healthier alternatives.
The app can be particularly useful for families, helping parents and carers compare everyday food and drink choices and understand the amount of sugar, salt and saturated fat in different products.
