East Seasonably helps everybody enjoy fruit and vegetables at their seasonal best. As part of Compass UK, Kents Hill Park is proud to partner this fantastic non-profit campaign.
Eating seasonably means:
Better taste – top chefs agree that fresh seasonal produce is best
Better value – our research has shown that a basket of fruit and veg bought in the summer can be as much as a third cheaper than the same basket bought out of season
Better for the planet – growing in season requires lower levels of artificial inputs than at other times of the year
Every month we will have new information for you to take away in our restaurant, from seasonal recipes and menu ideas to tips on growing your own fruit and vegetables. We also have monthly focus on food issues that are important to us. From supporting British Farmers and Fair Trade to tips for a healthy life style.
For instance: Did you know active bodies crave carbohydrate for energy. But how do you get the most from the meals and snack on the right food at the right time?
Get healthy habits up and running:
• Regular sports demand regular, well balanced meals and plenty of fluids before, during and after training.
• There is no need to rely on supplements if you are eating a balanced diet.
• Know when to snack, and what on, to reduce fatigue and maintain blood sugar and carbohydrate levels
What to eat and when:
• 2-4 hours before exercise try:
- 2 Portions of fruit
- 1 slice of whole meal bread with topping
- 2 Weetabix with skimmed milk
• If you are exercising for more than an hour top up your energy stores every 15-20 minutes. Try:
- 125-150ml isotonic sports drink
- 2 handfuls of dried fruit
• After exercise to replace lost energy and help with recovery, eat carbohydrates within 20 minutes of finishing. Try:
- 1 cereal bar
- 2 large bananas
- 1 bowl of wholegrain cereal with skimmed milk
