Healthy Tips

HOPEWOOD'S GENERAL NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES

Hopewood recommends a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables with complex carbohydrates and some protein.

  • 60%-70% of the diet should be fresh fruit and vegetables.
  • 20-25% should be complex carbohydrates, depending on energy requirements regarding exercise. 
  • 10-15% should be concentrated protein

At the same time Hopewood recommends you generally avoid (among other things) stimulants, fats and oils, refined and processed  foods, dairy products in large amounts, salt and high salt foods, artificial colouring.

TIPS:

  • Chew your food well as this improves digestion and stimulates the bowel.
  • Increase fibre in the diet, especially leafy greens, wholegrains and brown rice.
  • Restrict dressings especially fats and avocado if body fat is a problem.
  • Drink plenty of purified water, juices and herbal teas each day.

Hopewood's gourmet smorgasbord meals follow our dietary principles and receive overwhelming accolades from guests both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. 

 

"The food was wonderful, delicious and inspiring to a non-vegetarian."
Amanda Phillips

"The food is excellent.  As a vegetarian it was nice to have a smorgasbord to choose from instead of just one dish at a restaurant."
Bronwyn Wilmot
