Bang in some beans- Love this new project from the Food Foundation:
https://foodfoundation.org.uk/initiatives/bang-some-beans
Adding beans to our diet has so many benefits; they are affordable, versatile, highly nutritious, as they are a good source of several vitamins and minerals including iron, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, folate and zinc, which help to support the normal functioning of the immune system and other essential biological processes and even count towards your 5 a day

Did you know? It is Action Against Sugar Awareness Week:
Latest figures show 9 in 10 children and 4 in 5 adults are exceeding their recommended daily sugar limits, increasing the risk of lifelong health issues, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and tooth decay. Nutrition, health and marketing claims used by food companies, such as “high fibre,” “natural energy,” and “smart snacking” can create a misleading ‘health halo' effect. This can often encourage an overestimation of the health benefits, distracting from the potential unhealthy reality of some products, and making it even harder for people to make informed choices, contributing to an increased risk of these health conditions

Our yearly Sugar Awareness Week campaign - which will take place this year on 17th to 23rd November - raises awareness of the health risks associated with too much sugar in our diet, and advocates for better nutrition policies to improve our food environment.
