Eating 1-2 handfuls (30-60g) of nuts and seeds daily could support your heart and brain function. They contain healthy unsaturated fats, protein, fibre, and polyphenols, which are known to counteract oxidative stress and inflammation. 🌰🧠

Having higher levels of omega-3 is tied to improved heart health, inflammation, cognitive function and a longer life expectancy.

Keeping added sugars as low as possible can improve sleep and energy levels. Over time, lower sugar intake (under 25g a day) is tied to a lower risk of depression, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity.🍬

They add polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that could help lower the risk of chronic diseases. Each spice adds ¼ plant point, which increases diet variety and supports a healthy gut microbiome. 🌱

Vitamin C helps the immune system work properly, acts as a potent antioxidant and helps produce collagen. Pairing vitamin C-rich foods like citrus, peppers, and kiwifruit with leafy greens or legumes can help the body absorb plant-based iron. 🤝

These vegetables provide 'glucosinolates', which increase the body’s detoxification enzymes and antioxidant defences. Eating brassicas regularly (~100g/day) may lower cancer and depression risk, and help remove pollutants. 🥦
