Healthy for Life




Healthy for Life is the health and wellbeing programme which combines both food & nutrition and broader health awareness initiatives, to provide  comprehensive health and wellbeing service across RGU.  

Across Campus you will notice our Healthy Leaves displayed on our Food Counters, these are in place so that you can find food to suit your dietary requirements, for example Eat well, one of your 5 a day, made with Whole Grains, Baked not fried and Vegetarian. 

As part of the Healthy for Life Programme we have various posters around Campus to inform and educate about Healthy Eating and living.

Look out for our Healthy for life Menu Commitments Poster displayed around Campus which details in 10 commitments  how our food is carefully prepared each day:

1. Our menus are created by Experienced Chefs who have a passion for food
2. Our Recipes are Freshly prepared and made as close to the mealtime as possible
3. We feature Fresh fruit, vegetables , whole grains, lean proteins and low or non fat dairy options
4. We provide a vegetarian friendly environment with a  variety of vegetarian menu options
5. We provide nutritious choices where possible, make nutritious information available for the food we serve
6. When available our menus include seasonal selections with local and sustainable products
7. We are proud to serve culturally diverse menus ,featuring traditional favourites, ethnic dishes and international flavours
8. We are reducing the amount of salt and unhealthy fats in our recipes and working with our suppliers to do the same in their ingredients
9. We recognise and accommodate Special dietary needs in a personalised sensitive manner
10. Our Chefs and Dieticians help take the mystery out of Healthy Eating with nutrition education programmes and wellness events
