Food is not just food: Poland

Healthy tips

Clinical nutritionist Insaf Zerouga gives this advice to Dominik and Kasia:

• There is a lot of meat in Polish food. Choose lean unprocessed meat, and cut away visible fat.
• Chicken is lean and is a good choice. But also eat fish or vegetarian a few days a week.
• Use whole grain varieties of rice or pasta if you can – these are healthier and more filling.
• Soup is good as a starter because it fills you up, without containing so many calories. But avoid adding too much oil, butter and fatty dairy products.
• Make the food from scratch, then you have more control over the contents.
• It is fine to enjoy cake occasionally. On the Diabetes Association recipe pages you will find many good desserts with little sugar and fat.
