Be A Weekday Veggie
“By taking a break from red meat, you’ll include more fruits, vegetables and wholegrains, all bringing great health benefits,” says clinical nutritionist Suzie
Sawyer, formulator of the Alive! multi-vitamin range. “Plant-based meals are generally higher in fibre, which helps keep cholesterol levels in check, and also nourish the good bacteria in the gut, helping support the immune e system, reduce inflammation and regulate hunger. In addition, fruits, vegetables, wholegrains and legumes help protect against type 2 diabetes while many fruits and vegetables are rich in heart-loving potassium.” ● Stir-fry for dinner? Swap chicken for chickpeas. ● A passion for pasta? Quorn® mince works well in a Bolognese sauce. ● Feeling chilli? Add extra kidney beans instead of minced beef. ● Move over burgers. A Portobello mushroom’s a tasty alternative.
