Health is the new Wealth

Collectively, we’ve never spent so much time sitting. We often snack while staring at computer or TV screens and cell phones.  All that snacking can sneak in some less healthy eating habits.

Some people found comfort in eating in these uncertain, recent times. As we’re getting closer to post-Covid-19, many feel they’ve gained some unwanted extra weight during these last few months. 

It is not unusual to confuse anxiety and feelings of worry with hunger or cravings. But what can we do about it?  There is hope, and it tastes good.

We know our health is a top priority, yet the practical steps to maintain healthy habits sometimes gets lost in the overload of daily life and all its responsibilities.  

The answer to feel satisfied with less cravings is a sufficient, frequent intake of high-quality protein.  High quality protein comes from tasty sources such as pork. It supplies our bodies with all the essential amino acids needed to repair and maintain healthy body tissues and keep our immune systems strong.

Deliciously grilled, braised or braaied, protein-rich food is a vital component of a balanced eating plan and creates the happy-tummy-my-food-was-yummy feeling.

Besides being one of the best sources of dietary protein available, pork is also a rich source of all the B-Vitamins, which helps our nervous systems cope with stress.

Think pork sosaties on the braai, Saratoga pork chops, or a drool-worthy Sunday roast with crisp crackling.  The possibilities and taste combinations are endless.

With it’s affordability and versatility, pork really is the best choice to make mealtimes exciting, nutritious and delicious.
