Healthy eating
Food & Nutrition Australia - Accredited Practising Dietitian, Sharon Natoli
Eating a variety of foods every day, including breads, cereals and other grain based foods, is vital for optimal health and wellbeing. In fact, grain based foods such as bread, are one of the body’s main sources of carbohydrate, iron and B vitamins, all essential for maintaining energy levels, concentration and alertness throughout the day.
Breads made with wholegrains and those that include seeds, nuts or dried fruits, such as many of the breads found at Bakers Delight, provide additional nutritional benefits due to the many different vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants they contain.
Aim to include around 4 serves of grain based foods daily as part of a healthy diet that also includes plenty of vegetables and moderate amounts of fruits, low fat dairy, lean meats or alternatives and healthy fats.
Combine this with plenty of water, regular exercise, time with family and friends and adequate rest and relaxation and you’ll soon start reaping the rewards a healthy lifestyle has to offer!
