Healthy Eating Tips
Why healthy eating tips for vegetarians? Isn’t a vegetarian diet already healthy?
Not always! Look at this example of a (not untypical) lunchbox: - 2 Slices of white bread with butter with a slice of processed cheese.
- Bag of crisps
- Can of fizzy pop.
This may be a quick lunchbox, but it is not a healthy lunchbox. This example contains: - no fruit or vegetables
- added salt in the processed cheese and crisps
- high saturated fats in the butter and cheese
- sugar and additives in the fizzy drink
Now this may be fine for the odd lunch. But surely we can make a much healthier, tastier vegetarian lunchbox. Let’s make all those meat eaters jealous!
Remember our diet plays a major factor in our health and well being.
A healthy diet is a varied diet. No single group of foods can give us all the nutrients we require.
Here are some tips based on current healthy eating guidelines:
Increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you eatIncrease your fibre intakeDon’t eat too much fat Reduce your sugar intakeReduce your salt intake Drink lots of water
