Staying Healthy and Hydrated...
Nutrition Tips: Here are just a few simple tips as to how to improve your nutrition:
1. Go full fat!
Full fat milk and yoghurts aren’t full of fat at all. Only rarely do some yoghurts go over 5% fat. If you eat low fat products you are denying yourself all the wonderful fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D and E. Greater increase of full fat dairy produce can lower your risk of diabetes.
2. Eat little and often!
Full plates can feel daunting and insurmountable. Smaller meals and snacking are the way to go. Apple slices with cheddar; nuts and dark chocolate; banana on toast…are all good nutrient-rich snacks.
3. Eat eggs!
Cheap, easy to cook and available everywhere! Interestingly, there is no current medically-backed restriction on the number of eggs you eat, if you eat a reasonably balanced diet. Eggs are full of protein, vitamins and Omega 3.
4. Dried skimmed milk is great if you are trying to build yourself up.
You can make it into a creamy consistency and add to yoghurt, custard, coffee, pasta sauce, cereal…. get creative! It provides protein and lots of healthy calories.
5. Moderation…
Everything in moderation... and please to be mindful of what you and your loved ones are eating.
