The type and quantity of food you consume throughout the day has a big impact on how energetic (or tired) you will feel. While all foods will give you energy through calories, certain foods, such as those we've listed below, offer nutrients such as B vitamins, healthy carbohydrates, energising fats and satisfying proteins to help you stay alert and focussed throughout your day. 20 high-energy foods to fuel your day 1. Bananas These healthy pancakes are dairy- and gluten-free, as well as being low in calories. Made with just three ingredients, they are super-quick to whip up, and the peanut butter makes them sturdy, so they’re easy to flip. A great way to use up overripe bananas, our classic banana loaf requires just six ingredients and is perfect for a teatime treat or breakfast snack. 2. Brown rice Try this healthy hoisin-glazed tofu with stir-fried brown rice. It's a really simple vegan dish that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It offers protein-rich tofu and plenty of green vegetables, too. Or try this low-calorie soup, combining chorizo, broccoli and brown rice to create a warm and hearty meal. It is easy to make and suitable for freezing if you want to make a big batch for later. 3. Oily fish Traybakes are the midweek saviour. This vibrant curried salmon dish is full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants – great for maintaining a healthy mind and skin.

What's the difference between a vegan and plant-based diet? While these two dietary approaches are very similar, a plant-based lifestyle allows for the occasional consumption of animal products, should an individual choose to eat these. On the other hand, veganism avoids consuming all animal-based products and by-products.

Check out our recipes below, then take a look at our healthy high-protein vegan recipes, quick vegan recipes, tempeh recipes and budget vegan recipes. Iron is an essential nutrient for good health, for it is involved in transporting oxygen around our body by binding to haemoglobin and carrying red blood cells around the body. Too little and you may start to feel tired, lack concentration and even feel light-headed. You can get iron from your diet in both animal (heme) and plant-based (non-heme) sources, and the absorption is increased when eaten alongside fruits and vegetables which contain Vitamin C. Good vegan iron sources include legumes such as tofu, lentils, tempeh, beans, peas, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and certain fruits and vegetables, including green leafy vegetables, tomato purée, prunes and olives. 24 vegan iron-rich recipes 1.

Worry no more – we've compiled a list of our favourite healthy dinners that are simple, straightforward and full of flavour. All you have to do is pick which to make first. What makes a nutritious, healthy dinner? Like most meals, balance is important, as this will help you to feel satisfied and give your body the nutrients it requires. On a basic level, simply ask: does my plate have at least one source of protein, healthy fat and carbohydrate? Remember, vegetables are carbohydrates too – not just bread, rice and pasta. In fact, dinnertime is a great time to load up on less starchy, fibre-rich vegetables such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, peppers and mushrooms. Variety is important, as different foods offer different types of nutrients and fibres, so try to aim for at least three or four different ingredients on your plate – if you can make it 10, even better!

description: We’re often told that we should be ‘eating the rainbow’, but what does that mean? Health editor Tracey Raye discusses why it might be the best thing you’ll ever do for your health
encoded: We know that fruits and vegetables are healthy foods that we should probably all eat more often, but did you know that variety is also important? Plant foods, such as fruits and vegetables, contain compounds called ‘phytonutrients’ that contribute to their rich, beautiful colour, as well as their distinct flavours and aromas. Different foods contain varying quantities of a whole range of phytonutrients, which is why we have such diverse spectrums of colour among fresh foods. While some fruits and vegetables are a source of more than one phytonutrient, others have small quantities. Numerous studies demonstrate the multiple benefits of colourful phytonutrients, including working as antioxidants and reducing inflammation. Eating a balanced and varied diet which includes a variety of colours is the best way to ensure that we're receiving the full spectrum of these vital nutrients. Which foods contain phytonutrients? Fruits Vegetables Nuts and seeds Beans, peas and lentils Wholegrains Herbs and spices Tea There are thousands of phytonutrients found in plant foods, each with a variety of unique qualities and benefits. For example: Red foods: contain antioxidants such as lycopene (tomatoes), anthocyanins (red berries), ellagic acid (strawberries, raspberries) and astaxanthin (salmon, prawns). Orange foods: contain beta-carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body, where it supports eye health and helps to make hormones. Blue foods: contain powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins, which may have a role in protecting cells from damage. Green foods: rich in chlorophyll and provide a variety of nutrients. Lutein and zeaxanthin (in vegetables including kale and spinach) contribute to healthy eyes. White foods: rich in anthoxanthins which may have a role in supporting heart health. Remember, even within one colour group, foods will have varying levels of phytonutrients, so it’s still important to seek variety. Try these: Red: apples, tomatoes, cherries, pomegranate, wa…

Whether you start eating 100 per cent plant-based overnight, or decide to change one meal or snack at a time, find what's right for you. Here are our plant-based recipes to try, vegan drinks and our pick of best health trends. Check out our guides on what everyone should know about supporting their gut and why you should eat the rainbow. Now find out how to eat 30 plants a week and then discover 10 wholesome and hearty plant-forward recipes to start the new year right. Now find out about the Mediterranean diet. What is a plant-based diet? There are many ideas and interpretations when it comes to what eating plant-based means. According to the British Dietetic Association, a plant-based diet is centred around foods derived from plants, including fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, nuts and seeds, with few or no animal products. With that said, the terms 'vegan' – which is the total exclusion of animal derived products – and 'plant-based' are often used inter-changeably. Other common terms that fall within the realm of plant-based include vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian and reducetarian. Regardless of whether you choose to assign a label to your style of eating, the most important thing is to find a way of nourishing your body that feels right and fits with the lifestyle that suits you. Plant-based nutrition – what you need to know While the premise of a plant-based lifestyle is relatively simple, if you're coming from eating in a primarily omnivorous way, your concept of building balanced meals will require some adjusting. You're likely to find that the places where you used to derive nutrients such as protein, iron and iodine will largely change. But, not to worry, once you understand the basics of what you're looking for, it can actually become quite a fun and creative practice; experimenting with different foods …

encoded: Want to know why porridge is good for you? Read on for our expert health editor's guide then check out our quick porridge toppers. Porridge has become pretty synonymous with health over the years and for good reason. With wide-ranging benefits from lowering cholesterol to supporting weight-loss, one might start to believe that this humble breakfast bowl indeed possesses superpowers. Some of the more commonly known health benefits of porridge include: Loaded with vitamins and minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium and B vitamins. 6g of protein per 1/2 cup dry oats Rich in polyphenols Heart-healthy Fibre-rich One of the many things that I have come to love about oats is the fact that they’re such a great source of prebiotic fibre, making them an incredibly gut healthy breakfast – especially for those who may not be a fan of yogurt or fermented foods. Prebiotics are essentially a food source for the beneficial bacteria in your gut. They can be consumed either through your diet or taken as a supplement. One of the fibres found in oats is called beta-glucan, a type of fibre that somewhat dissolves in water and forms a thick, gel-like solution in the gut – a property that is responsible for several well-known benefits: Supporting feelings of fullness Reducing blood sugar and insulin response Feeding healthy gut bacteria Reducing cholesterol levels (total & LDL) If there’s one thing that I’ve learned through years of working in the health industry, it’s that supporting your health and nourishing your body really is about consistency. While it’s great to include ‘healthy’ foods in your diet now and again, if you really want to feel the difference, then finding a way to enjoy the foods which we know are good for us is the best way forward in the long run. How to cook porridge to perfection "I’m Scottish so I was always taught to cook the oats themselves – either porridge or pinhead – in just water with a tiny pinch of salt.

encoded: Do you find yourself reaching for the biscuit tin when you're stressed? You're not alone. Stress can impact our bodies and behaviours in many ways, and stress eating is one of these. Health expert and nutritionist, Tracey Raye, explains how to identify the causes of stress eating and 10 easy ways to shift to healthier habits. For more health and wellbeing advice, check out our expert guide on how to manage sugar cravings and whether stress could be lowering your sex drive, plus the diet changes that can help. We've also got a health expert guide to what to eat for better skin. What is stress? Stress is our body’s response to pressure – this could be from work, from experiencing something new or unexpected, or simply the daily pressures of a busy life. Feeling stressed, whether short term or over a long period, can have a powerful impact on our bodies, emotions, behaviours and food choices. Please note: it is important to differentiate between stress eating and disordered eating. These tips are not appropriate for those who feel they may have disordered eating tendencies. For further support and information regarding eating disorders and treatments, please see the NHS eating disorders guidance. What is stress eating? When we are feeling stressed, self-care is often one of the first things to go. Basic habits such as sleeping well, taking regular exercise and eating a balanced diet can quickly be put on the back burner as we divert our focus elsewhere. What’s more, when we perceive our stress as chronic or out of control, it’s not uncommon to find ourselves reaching for unhealthier food choices in an attempt to find comfort and to better cope with our negative emotions. Overeating can be driven by several factors from availability of certain foods, to boredom and depression, but the body’s physical stress response may also play a role, too. While stress may cause some people to refrain from eating for long periods, others will naturally gravitate towards food. When yo…

Nutrients support the body in functioning the way it's supposed to, which allows us to feel better and get on with the things that really matter to us. Try some of our favourite everyday superfood recipes, from porridge to sourdough and matcha crepes." Our 15 favourite everyday superfoods 1.

description: No more itchy throat and sneezing: try these 10 natural hay fever remedies to help your symptoms, suggested by our health expert
encoded: It's one of the few downsides of a warm and sunny summer season: hayfever season arrives with it. Tree pollen season begins as early as March, followed by grass pollen and weed pollen (which can continue into September), meaning there can be six month period of experiencing hay fever symptoms. The runny nose, sneezing, itchy throat and eyes all make summer a bit more unpleasant. You may find yourself heading to buy medication to help ease your symptoms, but did you know there are natural remedies for hay fever too? Read on to discover 10 natural remedies for hay fever, as explained by our nutritionist and health expert. For more like this, check out our guide to 10 foods that can help fight seasonal allergies and hay fever. Get your day off to a great start with our five tips for your morning routine and then wind down in the evening with our mindful evening routine tips. 10 natural remedies for hay fever 1. Minimise pollen exposure It sounds obvious, but prevention is often easier than cure. When the pollen count is high, avoiding spending long periods of time on green and grassy areas can help to minimise hayfever symptoms starting and being aggravated. Even if you're not heading out on a picnic, simply keeping windows shut during the day is also a top tip that will help limit your exposure to pollen coming in when you’re inside. This will also help your sleep, as it stops pollen getting in to your home and causing symptoms at night. 2. Create a pollen barrier Limit how close pollen can get to your face, eyes and hair by creating a pollen barrier. Applying a balm or oil around your nose may help trap pollen before it can enter your nasal passage and set off hayfever symptoms. A dab of everyday olive oil can be used for an easy DIY balm. Wearing a sunhat and sunglasses when outside will also help prevent pollen reaching your eyes or settling in your hair. 3. Try zeolite to remove histamine Zeolite is a natural clay-like substance. It binds to histamine in the diges…

10 foods to help fight seasonal allergies and hay fever

description: Feeling sniffly? These 10 foods can help ease symptoms of summer allergies such as hay fever, reduce inflammation and boost your immune system
encoded: Seasonal allergies such as hay fever develop when the immune system overreacts to allergens, like grass or weed pollen, which can result in congestion, sneezing and itching. The standard treatment usually involves medicines such as antihistamines, but there are lifestyle changes you can make that may also ease symptoms. Certain foods contain enzymes, pigments or natural properties that can help relieve the symptoms of allergies and make your summer more enjoyable – read on for the details, plus lots of recipe ideas to help you incorporate these foods into your summer meals. For more like this, find out our natural hay fever remedies. Next check out our health spotlight on antioxidants and health expert guide to Vitamin C. 1. Pineapple Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain, which can soothe the irritation and inflammation associated with hay fever. Pineapple is a great snack on it's own, but for something different try it in our chicken and pineapple salad recipe, ready in just 15 minutes. To get your pineapple in early, try making this vibrant pineapple smoothie for breakfast. 2. Kale Kale is rich in carotenoids, pigments which fight inflammation and inhibit the release of histamine – the cause of allergy symptoms like itchy eyes and a runny nose. Eating kale together with a source of fat, such as olive oil or avocado, increases the absorption of these carotenoids. Try our kale and parmesan gnocchi bake to transform shop-bought gnocchi, or whip up a homemade pesto with this pistachio and kale pasta recipe. 3. Red onion Red onions provide a high concentration of the flavonoid quercetin – a powerful natural antihistamine. Quercetin is what gives red onions their deep red colour, but it also helps to calm down the cells that react to allergens in the air such as pollen and dust mites. Quercetin can also be found in apples, berries and broccoli. Make these goat's cheese and red onion tarts for an elegant lunch if you're entertaining, or try this comforting toad-…

Gut health has been en vogue for quite a few years now, and for good reason. Scientists have discovered that instead of being a simple part of the digestive system, the gut is actually central to several important systems in the body, including brain function and mental resilience, skin health, hormonal balance and even supporting a robust immune system. The terms ‘gut microbiome’ or ‘gut flora’ are often used in the context of gut health, and simply refer to all the microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, living within your intestines. Most of us house roughly 300-500 different species of bacteria within our digestive tract, with some of these being potentially harmful and others beneficial or even essential to our health and well-being. As it's such a dynamic system, it can be hard to define exactly what constitutes a healthy gut; however, something that researchers can agree on is that diversity of gut flora is key. So, what lifestyle choices can support gut diversity? How to improve your gut health 1. Manage your stress Did you know that excess stress can impact the diversity of your gut flora? In fact, stress may even reduce beneficial bacterial species such as lactobacilli. While our bodies are relatively well-equipped to deal with a little bit of stress, it can impact the health and balance of our gut in the long-run. For this reason, t…

Did you know that fibre is more than just a digestive aid that can provide relief from constipation? Fibre is also the food of choice for beneficial bacteria in the gut. Studies suggest that fibre: Feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut, including those responsible for maintaining healthy weight, blood sugar balance, immune function and brain health. Can support weight loss – especially certain soluble fibres by helping you to feel satisfied, keeping you fuller for longer after a meal. Minimises spikes in blood sugar after a meal. Can reduce cholesterol levels. Supports the formation of healthy bowel movements, improving constipation. Fibre in your diet With so much research coming to light about the power of gut microbes, I try to be mindful of the little things I can do throughout the week to support my gut health. One of the practices I’ve really been enjoying is experimenting with different fermented foods. While once a bit of a mystery to my palate, I’ve found that following recipes which creatively include items like kefir, kimchi, pickles and sauerkraut hav…
