Poultry Picks. Turkey is a good-quality protein rich in B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorous. These nutrients are ideal for preserving muscle mass, improving bone strength, and supporting the immune system. Cancer authorities recommend we eat less red meat. Replacing ground beef and pork with ground turkey in your favourite recipe is one way to reduce red meat intake. Just a 3-ounce portion of ground turkey provides about 23 grams of protein, so your body is still getting the protein it needs.
The Spin on Spinach. Spinach, a nutritional powerhouse, provides many health benefits. Rich in nutrients like folate, vitamin B6, vitamin E, and an antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid - it's a key player in maintaining a healthy nervous system. Spinach also contains minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium - crucial for blood and bone health. The best part? It's so easy to incorporate into your meals, making it a simple yet effective way to boost your health.
Tomato Treasures. Tomatoes are rich vitamin C, and a carotenoid called lycopene. Lycopene is a health protective plant compound that is found in most red coloured fruits and vegetables. We absorb much more lycopene from tomatoes, when the tomatoes are sliced, chopped, or cooked with a bit of olive oil. Enjoy some today!
