How healthy are your eating habits? The fast food phenomenon is making it more and more difficult to stick to a balanced diet. Not everyone has the time or the patience to grow their own vegetables and bake their own bread.

But nutrition is a word you won't find too often on the inside of your pizza box. It is the process by which the human body uses food. And while it's hard in the hustle and bustle of daily life to eat a balanced diet, it is important to recognise where you may be lacking so you can compensate with supplements. Consult our pyramid of the five food groups to see if your food intake is on an even keel.
