BALANCED MEALS FOR GOOD DIGESTION

BALANCED MEALS FOR GOOD DIGESTION

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to nutrition. There are simply well-researched, basic principles, that if we consistently aim to utilise, will provide us with more nutrients, better health, lower risk of disease and improve digestion.

Let’s bring it back to the basics and learn how to build a quality, nutritionally-balanced main meal.

Don’t unnecessarily restrict everyday foods or food groups, unless you have an intolerance or allergy.

What this blog post will teach you is how to balance your main meals – mainly lunches. We will achieve this through optimising the nutrients in your diet, through balancing the types of foods you select to put on your plate.

What does this have to do with digestion you ask?

Well… having a balanced meal helps stabilise blood sugar & balanced and stable blood sugar often lead to a well-functioning digestion!

Step 1: Select a high quality PROTEIN - Such prawns, beef, eggs, chicken, salmon or tempeh

Step 2: Add a CARB 🫐 – Go for carrots, beetroot, sweet potato, fruit, white potato, pumpkin as well as gluten-free grains such as quinoa, buckwheat, rice, millet. Remember fruit!

Step 3: Include a healthy FAT – Think olive oil, avocado, coconut cream/milk, nut butter / nuts, flax seeds, ghee / grass fed butter.

There is a hidden step here and its to include your leaf green VEGETABLES!

Enjoy!
