To stay healthy we all need a well-balanced
diet, but what can we do to increase our energy and vitality
levels in today's hectic environment? Well, we all know that increasing
our intake of fruit and vegetables can go a long way to keeping
us healthy, but are some more beneficial than others? Well here
are a few that are guaranteed to give you a boost.
Avocados - a great source
of vitamin E that keeps the heart healthy, contains vitamin B6 to
help us keep a healthy nervous system.
Red Peppers - pound for pound,
red peppers contain twice as much vitamin C as oranges.
Tomatoes - rich in a powerful
anti-oxidant that can help to prevent some cancers. Also rich in
vitamin C and B6. Unusually, the tinned variety can be more beneficial
than fresh tomatoes as they are more easily absorbed.
Broccoli - excellent source
of the B vitamin folate that helps lower the risk of heart disease
and stroke.
Garlic - know to lower
blood cholesterol and contains natural anti-biotic, anti viral and
anti fungal properties. |

Tip
When making pastry, think cold! For best result keep bowl, utensils
etc., cold before use, always use really cold water to gather mixture
together and run hands under cold water tap before kneading. If
possible, invest in a marble board and rolling pin - if you can't
then leave a wooden board and rolling pin in the fridge for a couple
of minutes before you roll out. |
Did you know....
That
salmon is not only delicious but contains Omega 3 fats that can
significantly lower the risk of stroke or heart attack. It's also
an excellent source of the fatty acids that help skin keep its elasticity,
keeps the brain healthy and prevents loss of mental agility. All
in all a wonderfully tasty way of staying healthy.
