No matter if you are pregnant or not, a healthy diet is crucial for you and your baby. A diet is based on the composition of what you eat, and the nutritional health score (NHS) is a tool that helps you to find out if you're eating a healthy diet or not. The NHS score is calculated on the basis of your diet. A better diet will result in a higher score. In addition, your diet can affect your risk of disease.
You will be asked for a brief questionnaire about your eating habits when you are pregnant. This questionnaire, known as the CoCu, consists of six questions and 14 items, and aims to validate your eating habits and diet composition.

How To
How to Live a Healthful Lifestyle
A healthy lifestyle is one that allows you to maintain your weight, your health, and your fitness. This lifestyle includes healthy eating habits, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and abstaining from drugs, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco and other harmful substances. Healthy living can help you feel better about yourself and keep you fit. Healthy lifestyles can also reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and arthritis.
The goal of this project is to give a step-by–step guide on how you can live a more healthy life. The first part of the project consisted of writing the introduction, which explains what a healthy lifestyle is, why people should adopt a healthy lifestyle and who we are. Next, I wrote the body paragraphs. These include tips and tricks for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I then wrote the conclusion. This summarizes the whole article, and provides additional resources, if necessary.
This assignment taught me how to write a concise paragraph. I learned how topic sentences and supporting details were organized. My research skills were also improved as I had to search for specific sources and cite them correctly. I also learned how to write with proper grammar.
