Diet & Nutrition Policy

The benefits of a healthy diet are vast and help promote better all round health with less feeling of tiredness and fatigue.   By eating a healthy diet the risk of coronary heart disease, some cancers, strokes, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, tooth decay and some diseases of the large bowel are decreased.   

The Diet & Nutrition Policy aims to encourage the uptake of a healthy diet across North Lanarkshire catering outlets.  Special consideration is given to schools but information and choice is also provided to adults and the elderly.  

Lanarkshire Health Board welcomes the introduction of the Council's Diet and Nutrition Policy and supports the principles and recommendations it makes.
