Ways to supercharge your eating

Snacking on a handful of berries or including a piece of broccoli with dinner may provide you with a range of antioxidants, but it’s not going to provide everything you need for optimal health. Instead of focusing on superfoods, eat a range of wholefoods. Stock up on:
1. Grains – Linseeds contain three heart friendly nutrients and Oats contain large amounts of the soluble fibre beta-glucan, making it heart friendly and improving bowel health.
2. Fresh superfoods – Broccoli has a bounty of health-promoting properties, adding tomatoes to your pasta sauce is a great way to boost your antioxidant intake and blueberries help protect memory and cognition.
3. Asian style – Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fats and protein, as well as a source of vitamin D; ginger helps protect against cancer, particularly bowel cancer, as well as boosting immune function and green tea has shown to improve blood flow and lower cholesterol.
