NHS Norfolk is making sure you’ve got a really healthy option if you are looking for something to eat at the Norfolk Show next week.

The Joy of Food team will be in the Food Hall offering delicious food that is fantastically healthy too!

Joy of Food’s Caroline Seaman said: “The Norfolk Show is all about celebrating Norfolk’s rich association with good food.

“There is always lots to eat at the show. Our mission this year is to offer individuals and families the best value healthiest option. Come to us and we guarantee to give you two of your five portions of fruit and veg for the day.”

The morning menu at the Joy of Food stand will see fruity flapjacks and a portion of juice for £1.50 and at lunchtime they will be serving two varieties of tasty salad wraps at £2 each.

The Joy of Food stand will be staffed by Joy of Food trainers, overseen by the project’s co-ordinator Mary Iginla.

NHS Norfolk’s lottery-funded Joy of Food initiative has been running for two years and promotes healthy eating, correct portion sizes and offers real help and support to people wanting to make the switch to healthier eating.

Caroline said: “Enjoying a wide range of different foods and eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day are important to give you more energy and protect your short and long term health and wellbeing. Reducing your salt, sugar and fat intake is also vital to maintaining a healthy diet.

“The social pleasure of sharing food with friends and family is also really important.”

Joy of Food provides cook-and-eat programmes in communities, offering easy recipes, top tips on saving money and information about balanced diets and food labels.
