This weekend we are celebrating World Milk Day 🥛

Milk and dairy is important in a healthy balanced diet, providing many nutrients essential for good health at all age.

Milk and dairy typically provide almost one third of our recommended calcium intakes but the nutrition provided by dairy products goes way beyond calcium alone. A single glass of semi-skimmed milk provides protein, phosphorus, potassium, iodine, riboflavin and pantothenic acid and largely about 72 per cent of our daily needs for vitamin B12. The main dietary source of B12 for vegetarians is dairy.

Together, the nutrients in milk and dairy help to:

*Keep muscles, bones, nerves, teeth, skin and vision healthy
*Release energy from foods and reduce tiredness and fatigue
*Maintain healthy blood pressure
*Support normal growth and brain development
*And even support normal immune functioning

Did you know❓

Cauliflower rice is healthier than traditional white rice?

✅ Gluten free / Grain free
✅ Low GI index - perfect for pre diabetic/diabetic
✅ Contain important micronutrients - Vitamin K, Vitamin C and Folate
✅ Lower in calories - excellent alternatives in weight loss journey
✅ Fibre content

Homemade Cauliflower rice 👩🏻‍🌾 - How to do it at home?

Here are two techniques for making cauliflower rice. You can either firstly use a box grater as traditionally used for cheese, or secondly, with a help of a food processor. With both techniques you’re aiming for little pieces the size of rice.

🌟 Final step, it is important to press any excess moisture from the rice by transferring the cauliflower rice to a large paper towel or absorbent dish towel and squeeze/press to remove any remaining water. This ensures no excess moisture remains, which can make your dish soggy 😊

✅Best part we have it frozen in supermarkets around Mauritius as well 🫶🏼

Cauliflower rice can be incorporated as Stir fried, Pizza base crust, sushi, rice-bowl or in soups

Make some healthier carbohydrates swap👍😃

Greetings to all my veganism followers 🌱☺️
Today we are talking about vegan diet. Grab a copy of L'express Maurice and you can have a quick read about the plant-based diet, it’s benefits and limitations. According to many studies, research showed that “plant-based diets are cost-effective, low-risk interventions that may lower body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels. Vegan diet is showed to be as effective for diabetic and cardiovascular patients. They may also reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases but it may also impair bone health”. In this case, Calcium, vitamin B12 and vitamin D should be regularly monitored. Discuss with your health professionals in case of any insufficiencies or deficiencies.
