 Highest in dietary fibre, therefore
the releasing of the energy is slow,
giving longer lasting energy (low
GI).
RN
or
 Highest in dietary fibre, therefore
increases satiety to feel “full”
longer.
 Low in total fat, therefore assists in
keeping daily fat intake low.
 High in complex carbohydrate,
therefore slow releasing energy.
 Low in sugar, therefore helps to
maintain a balanced diet.
 Low in sodium, which leads to
hypertension, high blood pressure,
hardening of the arteries.
 High in protein, which helps to
repair and renew cells.
(e)

therefore value for money
nutritionally.
RC

RN
- could contribute to poor dental
health, dental caries
- could contribute to becoming
overweight, or obesity, or type 2
diabetes.
 High in sodium:
- could lead to hypertension and
heart disease.
 Low in dietary fibre:
- a diet low or with insufficient fibre
may not allow for healthy bowel
movements, and may increase
the chance of bowel cancer.
