January 2005National Vegetarian Week, 23rd - 29th May 2005Give your body a boost and eat your greens during National Vegetarian Week Many gorgeous, healthy-looking celebs such as Stella Mcartney, Alicia Silverstone and Heather Small can credit their enviable physiques and glowing skin to a vegetarian diet that is naturally rich in antioxidants and high in fibre. Delicious film star Jude Law is also known for his love of vegetarian food – with results we’d all like as part of our daily diet! A vegetarian diet can have a positive effect on many of the health problems hitting Britain today – particularly obesity, osteoporosis, breast cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Rich in fresh vegetables and fruit, veggie food is packed with important protective antioxidants. These nutrients include the beta-carotene form of vitamin A, vitamin C and E which along with the high-fibre content of a good vegetarian diet are believed by many researchers to play a major role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. A well-balanced vegetarian diet provides all the nutrients required for good health. And that includes protein and essential fatty acids! For more information about a healthy veggie diet call The Vegetarian Society on 0161 925 2000, or visit www.vegsoc.org and they will send you a free copy of the booklet ‘Food for Thought’. After all if it’s good for Jude Law…
