Peach and Yoghurt Breakfast Cups
It’s a well-known fact that we need to eat a balanced diet, and a recently launched national health campaign reminds us that our diet should include at least four servings of grain-based foods each day for optimum health and wellbeing.
Ensuring you and your family eat at least four daily serves of grain-based foods, especially wholegrain varieties of breads, crispbreads, breakfast cereals, muesli, porridge, rice, pasta, noodles and couscous, will help make certain no-one misses out on the broad range of essential nutrients and protective benefits that grain-based foods offer.
Grain-based foods are an excellent source of carbohydrate which provides the energy our brain and muscles need to function properly. They are also a source of protein and vitamins, especially the B-group vitamins and Vitamin E, and a number of minerals including iron, zinc, magnesium and phosphorous.
Wholegrain varieties of grain-based foods are especially healthy as they contain fibre, antioxidants and phytoestrogens - important elements that help keep us fit, healthy and prevent against many diseases. In fact, a diet high in wholegrain foods has been shown to protect against heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. It may also assist long-term weight control, which is great news for those watching their waistline.
Eating at least four serves of grain-based foods each day may sound daunting for some, but such foods can easily fit into all your meals whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack.
