BALANCED DIETS FOR BUSY LIVES
With
today’s hectic lifestyles, our good intentions to eat well and stay active
can often fall by the wayside. Sometimes it can be so easy to miss breakfast
or lunch – or reach for the takeaway menu after a tiring day.
But you don’t have to compromise on a healthy diet. Nutritious meals can be simple to prepare and using canned food is a quick and convenient alternative to fresh food, enabling you to whip up tasty meals in no time. In fact, canned fruit and veg can contribute to your 5-A-DAY.
Most canned foods don’t need preservatives, but are kept fresh by pressure cooking. This process means that canned food is packed full of nutrients and vitamins that might be lost with fresh food.
The benefits of canned food:
- Nutritious – canned foods can form part of a healthy balanced diet
- Convenient – it can be used straight from the cupboard all year round
- Value for money
- Versatile – there is a wide variety of canned produce available, from soup to fish to fruit and vegetables
- Environmental – metal food cans are 100% recyclable, widely recycled, and new cans are made from metal produced with over 50% recycled material
