Lettuce Wrapped Burritos
Who says you need to miss out on Mexican?
A family favourite and super easy. Quorn is a great alternative to regular mince meat being nutritionally superior. It has less fat and more fibre. It is also cheaper and tastes delicious. We love our burrito mince mix that is perfect for lunch or dinner. Try it with a squeeze of lime for that true mexican feel.

Food is medicine - the food we eat helps us to maintain health and manage medical conditions. A balanced, nutrient-rich diet profoundly influences the body's functioning and overall well-being. Ways in which food acts as medicine include:
Nutrient Content: Foods contain essential nutrients vital for body functioning, growth, and health maintenance.
Disease Prevention: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins lowers the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Inflammation and Immunity: Certain foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids, have anti-inflammatory properties that boost the immune system.
Gut Health: Foods with probiotics and prebiotics support a healthy gut microbiota, impacting digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.
Energy and Mental Health: A balanced diet provides energy for daily activities and influences neurotransmitter production, affecting mood and cognitive function.
Weight Management: A nutritious diet and regular physical activity are crucial for maintaining a healthy weight.
Individualised Nutrition: Recognising individual nutritional needs based on factors like age, gender, genetics, and health conditions is crucial.
Adopting a balanced, nutrient-dense diet is essential for overall well-being, preventing, and supporting the management of health conditions. It does not replace the need for some medications but it can assist in ensuring optimal health with less medical intervention.
