Healing Recipe: Curried “Shepherdless” Pie for Men’s Health Week 2020

It’s Men’s Health Week 2020, and what better way to celebrate it than with this hearty and wholesome Curried “Shepherdless” Pie. This plant-based version of a shepherds pie is packed full of nutrients essential for men’s health. It’s no surprise that eating a diet with a wide variety of foods (particularly plant-based) is the foundation for good health. According to some studies, most men do not get enough fibre from their day to day diet. By including plenty of whole grains, legumes, and fresh fruits and vegetables, it will ensure you are getting plenty of this all-important nutrient, which will help support the digestive system and eliminate waste cholesterol from the body.

Lentils are the hero ingredient in this recipe. Not only do they act as a delicious meat substitute, but they are also packed full of health benefits for men. Lentils are an excellent source of fibre, not to mention protein, B vitamins and Zinc.

Zinc is a key mineral you want to ensure you are getting plenty of from your diet. It is also vital for good sexual health and male fertility. B vitamins are also super important for male health. They can support common health issues men can face, including mental health concerns, (such as stress and depression), high cholesterol and heart disease. Vitamin B also assists in the process of turning what you eat into fuel for the body. For those men who are keen on working out and exercising often, it can be beneficial to focus on your B vitamin intake.

We’re very confident this meatless version of a shepherd’s pie will become a new favourite not just during Men’s Health Week 2020. It is flavoursome and nourishing, lentil and vegetable filling and creamy potato top certainly are the perfect healthy and hearty, plant-based comfort meal.
