How to enjoy a plant-based diet There is no one right way to eat for everyone. We are all different and what works for one person may not work for the next. However, with more and more people choosing to follow a vegan lifestyle I hope this plant-based eating blog will be of interest. The extent to which plant-based sources can provide excellent sources of nutrition is endless. With a balanced vegan diet, you can help yourself become the healthiest version of yourself. For those starting Veganuary this month, these minimally processed substitute animal products can be seen as ideal replacements. Tofu and tempeh are good ways to enjoy a plant-based diet:  versatile protein-rich alternatives to meat, fish, poultry and eggs. Legumes:  Beans, lentils and peas are excellent sources of many nutrients. Nuts and nut butter are other reasons to enjoy a plant-based diet:  Most nuts are good sources of iron, fibre, magnesium, zinc, selenium and vitamin E with almonds, walnuts and pistachios the most nutritious varieties. Seeds:  Hemp, chia and flaxseeds are also sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids Alpha Linoleic Acid (ALA). That Protein I Heart Pumpkin and Chia Seeds Super Protein is a great source of ALA. Calcium-fortified plant milk and yoghurts:  In order to achieve your recommended daily allowance of calcium, opt for fortified varieties with vitamins B12 and D. Algae is also another way to enjoy a plant-based diet:  Spirulina Chlorella is the source of complete protein that isn’t animal-based, they have added the bonus of containing Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), the most active Omega-3 fatty acid. Whole grains:  Spelt, amaranth, brown rice protein and quinoa (technically a seed) are all great sources of complex carbs, fibre, iron, B-vitamins and are especially high in protein. Sprouted and fermented plant foods:  Tempeh, miso, sauerkraut and kimchi all contain probiotics and vitamin K2. Fruits and vegetables:  Leafy greens such as spinach, kale and bok choy are both particularly high in iron, calcium and other key nutrients. WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF A PLANT-BASED DIET? Plant-based diets have an array of health benefits including a 15% lower risk of developing or dying from cancer; reducing symptoms of arthritis and reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Those that follow a plant-based diet also tend to be slimmer than those who don’t; with studies demonstrating vegans have a lower body mass index (BMI) than non-vegans. This lower BMI trend may be […]

Nutrition’s Role in Ageing Well Nutrition’s role in ageing well… it can help us to live long happy lives and continue to look and feel our best! There are so many things to consider when aiming for optimal nutrition, but here are our top ones!! Good nutrition is essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being. It plays a crucial role in supporting physical and mental functions, and the benefits of practicing good nutrition are numerous. Here are some key advantages: Enhanced Energy Levels A well-balanced diet consisting of nutrient-rich foods provides the necessary fuel for the body. It supplies carbohydrates for energy, proteins for tissue repair and growth, and healthy fats for sustained energy. Good nutrition helps prevent fatigue and keeps energy levels stable throughout the day. Stronger Immune System Proper nutrition supports a robust immune system, helping the body defend against illnesses, infections, and diseases. Nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, zinc, and selenium, found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, play a vital role in boosting immunity and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Improved Physical Health Maintaining a healthy weight through nutritious eating contributes to overall physical well-being. Good nutrition reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer. It promotes healthy digestion, reduces inflammation, and supports organ function, leading to improved longevity and quality of life. Optimal Brain Function The brain requires essential nutrients to function optimally. Consuming a balanced diet with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals supports cognitive function, memory, concentration, and mental clarity. It also plays a role in reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Enhanced Mood and Mental Health Proper nutrition has a significant impact on mental well-being. Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants support brain health and neurotransmitter production, which can positively affect mood and reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. Improved Digestion and Gut Health A diet rich in fiber, probiotics, and prebiotics supports a healthy digestive system. Adequate fiber intake promotes regular bowel movements, prevents constipation, and reduces the risk of digestive disorders like diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Probiotics and prebiotics contribute to a diverse and balanced gut microbiome, which is vital for overall health and immune function. Stronger Bones and Teeth Proper nutrition, particularly sufficient intake of calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, and magnesium, supports bone health and density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Additionally, consuming foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and minerals
