NUTRITIONAL ADVICE
Whatever diet you choose, it’s important to ensure you’re getting all the
nutrients your body needs. The information on this page should help keep you
healthy along your vegetarian adventure…
VEGGIE IS A GREAT WAY TO GO
Most people want to be sure they are eating a healthy diet. We want to help you
with clear, up-to-date dietary guidance based on official UK nutritional
recommendations [1]. A vegetarian diet can meet the nutritional needs for people
of all ages if you follow a few simple steps [2].
Public Health England says it is important to eat a diet low in saturated fat
and high in whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables. As a vegetarian, eating a
balanced diet based on whole grains, pulses (beans and lentils), vegetables and
fruits, nuts and seeds, you should easily exceed the guidelines for eating
5-A-Day, and your meals will be naturally higher in fibre and lower in saturated
fat.
One of the biggest concerns people have about vegetarian nutrition is where
vegetarians get nutrients that typically come from meat and fish, such as
protein, iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin B12, and essential fats like omega 3. In
most cases these nutrients are naturally included in balanced vegetarian and
vegan diets. It can however be useful to be aware of good nutritional sources.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE VEGETARIAN EATWELL GUIDE
The government has produced an Eatwell Guide to advise on healthy eating. It is
essential public health information, but it contains meat and fish. That’s why
the Vegetarian Society has adapted the guide for vegetarians. It applies to
anyone over the age of two.
