Healthy, safe and more sustainable food is an important topic in our society. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre (Stichting Voedingscentrum Nederland) is an independent organisation to which people can turn with any questions they have on this topic.

Healthy food makes an essential contribution to a healthy lifestyle. Healthy eating habits are often the best remedy for many of today’s most common health problems. The Wheel of Five is a practical information tool used by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. If you allow the Wheel of Five to guide your eating habits, your body will get all the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. You also need this balance to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
