Low in Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for your body. Our body needs carbohydrate for brain function, red blood cell health and to burn fat! Carbohydrates are found in breads & cereals, rice, pasta, starchy veggies such as potato, fruit & dairy foods. When choosing foods that contain carbohydrates consider the ingredients. For example, if a breakfast cereal contains dried fruit, it should have a slightly higher sugar level that one that does not. Choose grainy breads- the more grains you can see the better and look for Low GI (Glycemic Index) foods as these will provide you longer lasting energy and will help keep you feeling fuller for longer. Note not all foods have been tested nor display their Glycemic Index. A high carb meal contains at least 70g carbs per serve and a high carb snack, 20g or more. For those looking for a low carb option, a low carb meal contains 40g or less carbs per serve and a snack contains 15g or less carbs per serve.
Low In Sodium Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure. The most common source of sodium in our diet is from salt, whether it be added at the table, during the cooking process or even in the manufacturing stage. Research has shown that as our intake of sodium increases, so too does our risk of developing high blood pressure and other heart related diseases. Often salt is found in foods that you would never imagine were salty such as bread, breakfast cereals and some meats. When looking for a low salt product aim for less than 500mg per serve for a meal and 200mg or less for a snack. Try to limit your daily sodium intake to 2300mg.

To prevent the pesto from discolouring, make it just before serving - it only takes a few minutes anyway!
