Dairy

Dairy foods contain calcium. This helps keep our bones and teeth healthy and strong.

Dairy foods can typically include:

• Milk
• Cheese
• Yoghurt
• Fromage frais
• Quark

Dairy foods can be high in saturated fat. This can increase your weight. It can also cause your cholesterol levels to rise.

You should choose lower-fat alternatives where you can, for example semi-skimmed milk and lower fat cheeses.

For dairy alternatives try soya, oat, or almond milks.
