Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
If you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
Some reduced carb diet guidlines:
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda.
Most recipes that require sugar can be changed to use splenda instead. It doesn't weigh the same so you will need to experiment a little and it may not work for every recipe, but it does bake up nice most of the time.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes cilantro, kale and tomato puree)
These amazing healthy superfoods are rich in the carotenoids believed by nutritionalists play a key part in minimising the risk of cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lungs. Many also help you lose weight, so should be a part of every diet system.
