Can These Everyday Foods Transform Your Health?
Making a few healthy tweaks to our diets can change how we feel for the better – but expensive and exotic superfoods can feel inaccessible. The good news is that we don’t need rare or costly ingredients to make a real difference; with the help of a registered nutritionist, we’ve uncovered the game-changing everyday foods that can turbo-charge your meals. Eating well could be far easier (and cheaper) than you thought.
Papaya: Tropical fruit papaya is delicious plain, in smoothies or tossed into a salad. It’s also super healthy, thanks to its good amounts of vitamin C (supporting your immune response) and beta carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A (important for healthy eyes and bones). High in fibre and almost 90% water, it can support healthy digestion, too. If that’s not enough, the seeds are also edible – they’re nutritious, with lots of fibre, and they have a slightly spicy taste.
