These nutrient-dense, high-protein, meal-sized salads are much more than an accompanying side. With the right mix of ingredients, they will satisfy your hunger and your craving for fresh flavor while giving your family the vitamins and minerals they need to live a healthy lifestyle.

The bowel is part of our digestive system and it works to digest the food we eat, absorb the goodness and nutrients into our blood stream, then process and expel the waste that the body cannot use. The digestive system works by pushing food through the intestines which usually takes between 24 to 72 hours.

The combination of fiber-rich grains and protein-packed ingredients helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer. This makes grain bowls an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a healthy weight or for those who need sustained energy throughout the day.

We enjoy more an more eating with just one fork, bites of veggies and grains with no need to cut anything out of it. Bowls make that job very easy. Eating of a bowl is easy and comforting: you can eat out of a table, couch, standing in the kitchen, at your desk. It's not messy and it's comforting and easy to hold.

Start with your base of good quality carbohydrates to create the perfect canvas base for your bowl. Look for whole grains like brown rice, farro, or quinoa. These have a ton of fiber and a lower glycemic index, meaning they won't spike your blood sugar levels like refined grains will.

Bowls is one type of therapeutic exercise that ticks the boxes in terms of fitness and health benefits. There's a surprising amount of walking involved in bowls (you could end up walking up to three miles while you play!), and it's a good workout for your arms too.

A precision sport in which the aim is to roll bowls (slightly radially asymmetrical balls) closest to a smaller white/yellow ball (the 'jack' or 'kitty'). The sport is played indoors and outdoors on grass or artificial surfaces known as a 'green' which is divided into parallel playing strips known as 'rinks'.

Aim for at least one or two bowling sessions per week, focusing on proper form, technique, and enjoyment. Combine bowling with other forms of exercise, such as strength training or cardiovascular workouts, for a well-rounded fitness regimen.

Lawn Bowls is a low impact activity that combines hand-eye co-ordination with cognitive skills and balance to get the asymmetrical bowls closest to the jack. It improves aerobic fitness and balance and can be done inside and outside, at any age and physical activity, making it all inclusive.
