Eating Smart- A Balanced Diet
Lunch
Lunch should be the largest meal of your day after breakfast as your body has time to
digest it properly since you are active and on the go. For many of us, a big lunch simply
isn't practical, especially on working days. Nevertheless even a light lunch should be
nutritionally balanced and sustaining enough to keep your energy levels up till the
evening. When choosing your lunch, plan ahead about what you're going to have in the
evening so you don't double up or miss out on any nutrient.
A balanced lunch should provide you:
- A large proportion of your daily calories.
- A balanced combination of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins,
minerals and oil.
- Plenty of fiber which comes from raw salads.

Tip of the week
Cooking:
Never scrape burnt leftovers from casseroles. Soak in a weak solution of
vinegar, salt and soapy warm water for an hour or so. The stuck particles will come off
very easily, without scratching the dish.
Health:
Tea and Antioxidants: Tea does not contain significant amounts of nutrients
but it is known to posses antioxidants which may reduce cancer risk. Choose black or green
tea instead of sodas to help protect your heart.
Cookery term
Confetti:
To slowly cook pieces of meat in their own gently rendered
fat. |
