<h2>Heart Health</h2>
<p>Eating a healthy balanced diet can contribute towards a healthy heart, which could lower the risk of coronary conditions such as high blood pressure. Reducing consumption of saturated fat contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. If you're looking for a dish with a smoky kick, why not try our tasty Beef Chilli Pot? If you fancy something a little fruitier, try our Moroccan Style Chicken Pilaf.</p>

<h2>Immune Health</h2>
<p>We’re all known for relying on quick-relief medicines during cold and flu season. In fact, a healthy lifestyle is a strong remedy to fighting off the sniffles, and should include plenty of sleep and exercise. In your diet, focus on immune-boosting foods containing iron, zinc and vitamins A and C. Our flavourful Tandoori Butternut Squash Biriyani Bowl and our Spicy Chicken Arrabbiata Pot are both great meal options to support your immune health.</p>

<h2>Bone Health</h2>
<p>As we get older, and our bones may begin to lose their strength, the risk of fractures increases as bone mass and density decreases. It's vital to keep up a healthy lifestyle to protect our bodies from any scrapes and bumps. Manganese, found in wholegrains and spices, and protein, in meat and legumes, helps maintain bone health. Why not try our warming Fragrant Prawn Laska Pot for a tasty, flavoursome lunch? Alternatively, our new Creamy Butternut Squash Linguine ticks all the boxes, a pasta cooked in a rich sauce jam-packed with hearty veggies.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Muscle Health</h2>
<p>If you’re structuring your diet around muscle maintenance or recovery, fuel your body with foods high in protein or magnesium. Beans, pulses and lean meat support muscle mass. Chicken can be an easy choice for adding protein at meal times without the added fat. If you’re in need of an easy and nutritious dinner that fits the bill for muscle health, try our brand new Fragrant Thai Red Chicken Bowl or Creamy White Wine Chicken Bowl.</p>

<h2>Energy Boost</h2>
<p>We all turn to caffeine for a wake-up call or reach for a snack when you feel that afternoon slump, but energy-boosting foods can occur naturally, too. Niacin, a B vitamin found in poultry and wholegrains, contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Our new Fiery Jerk Chicken Bowl contains a delicious spiced pineapple sauce that is not to be missed if you're looking for a boost in energy. For a lunchtime treat, our Herby Pesto Penne Chicken Bowl includes wholegrain pasta, tomatoes and a delicious creamy pesto.</p>

<h2>Protein Powered</h2>
<p>Embracing diverse proteins will not only encourage a more balanced diet, but is also better for the planet. Beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat are all good sources, essential for the body to grow and repair itself, to keep us fit and strong. If you eat meat and fish, choose lean meats like chicken over red meats like bacon and sausages and try to eat two portions of fish each week - one of which should be oily. Our Smoky Chicken & Chorizo Paella is the perfect dinner option, and if you're looking to pep up your lunch with extra protein, our Chicken, Feta & Pesto on Lentil Bread sandwich is the way to go!</p>

<h2>Fibre Rich</h2>
<p>Eating a diet rich in fibre contributes towards healthy bowel function. For a high, fibrous diet, make sure you’re eating wholegrains as well as plenty of fruit and vegetables. Why not try our new fibre rich Spiced Harissa Chicken Bowl and our tasty Hearty Tuscan Inspired Bean Soup Kit with Brown Rice – both of these are packed with veggies.</p>

<h2>Skin Health</h2>
<p>To maintain that healthy glow all year round, we need to feed our skin from the inside with foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Micronutrients vitamin A and zinc are key to maintaining normal skin; while copper contributes to healthy skin pigmentation. Try our new flavour-packed Spicy Korean Style Pork Noodle Pot; it's a great lunch option to help support your skin health.</p>

<p><br></br></p>
<h2>Plant Powered</h2>
<p>A plant-based diet is one that is predominantly based on plant foods, with a very minimal intake of animal foods. If you’re looking to cook more vegan and vegetarian meals at home, be sure to add lots of vegetables, grains and pulses to your plate on a daily basis so that you’re still eating enough fibre and protein. A vegan diet doesn’t always equal healthy, as some meat-free alternatives can be high in salt, but pulses and legumes are a strong base for any diet. Our delicious 10 Seeds, Pulses & Grains Wholemeal Loaf is a super staple product to help get you started on introducing more plant-based foods into your diet.</p>

<p><br></br></p>
<h2>Gut Health</h2>
<p>We can help strengthen our gut by eating foods that help keep our digestive system running smoothly. Gut healthy foods include those high in fibre – the recommended dietary intake of fibre is 30g a day – like wholegrain bread, wholegrain pasta and fruit and veg. Chicory inulin is a soluble fibre that contributes to normal bowel function; we’ve added this to The Health Menu range to increase fibre levels in products such as our brand new Strawberry, Blueberry &amp; Acai Shake.</p>
