Here is some recommended reading from UK Health Radio
News.
Yahoo! nutritionist Rachael Anne Hill identifies four
nutrient-packed, super-healthy foods she suggests we should all be eating but which
are often ignored.
Quinoa: commonly
referred to as a grain, quinoa is actually a seed. It can be cooked and eaten in much the same
way as rice and contains all the essential amino acids so is an excellent
source of complete protein for vegans and vegetarians.
Cold pressed
rapeseed oil: has balanced levels of omega 3, 6 and 9 which together make
up the essential fatty acids vital for lowering cholesterol, reducing
inflammation that can cause heart disease and premature ageing, boosting the
immune system and nourishing skin, hair, bones and joints.
Crab: despite
its low calorie content, it is a great source of protein so it's a really
filling and satisfying food. Crab is
also a good source of omega 3s which help to lower triglycerides and blood
pressure along with reducing the risk of heart disease.
Radishes: these hot tasting little vegetables owe their
pungent flavour to super nutrients called glucosinolates that are also found in
broccoli and cabbage.
