Food for Thought: Top Tip 5

5. Eat colours

The more colourful your plate is with natural colour, the healthier it is likely to be. It’s so easy to do this, add some tomatoes (canned or fresh) to your recipes, or why not bung some broccoli, cauliflower or asian greens into your stir fry. I loved Cindy’s suggestion of making your own coleslaw – it’s so tasty and healthy too! Did you know all the vegetables in the cabbage family are very protective and look after your body? Check out my Healthy Super Slaw or the uber tasty Asian coleslaw with Soy Dressing. Cindy from  Nutritionchic also gave us a top tip about one of my all time favourite ingredients, garlic… Always peel and leave the garlic 10 minutes before you chop it or prepare it for cooking. This allows a chemical change to occur that makes the garlic have more anti-cancer effects! How cool is that!? So give your garlic a rest, next time you’re making a meal…
