Promote good health
At TG we believe you don’t need to sacrifice the things you love to lead a naturally healthy lifestyle.
Using Natalie's knowledge from her studies in Nutritional Therapy at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, TG's recipes have been adapted to boost their goodness without sacrificing flavour so you can indulge without so much guilt!
Wherever possible the following key guidelines are applied:
Less of…..
| | More of…..
|
refined sugar | | unrefined sugar and where possible we have included agave syrup which has a much lower glyceamic load than sugar – something for diabetics to look into! |
machine-milled white flour | | more fibre rich wholemeal flour and then gone a step further with other recipes where we have used gluten free alternatives like buckwheat flour.
|
sugar-filled milk chocolate | | anti-oxidant packed dark chocolate.
|
refined salt | | unrefined salt, although in all our recipes we try to minimise the salt content wherever possible.
|
artificial preservatives, colourings or flavourings | | naturally delicious food, preserved using old fashioned methods that have stood the test of time.
|
more familiar oils | | rapeseed oil which research has indicated can have a better balance of health promoting Omega 3 & 6. |
Making the right food choices can have an incredible impact on health and well being. Click here for more ideas on Turnham Green's approach to eating.
