4. Add more leafy greens to meals
‘Leafy greens contain lots of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese. They are also an excellent source of vitamin K, which – in conjunction with the calcium and magnesium – makes them an ideal food for supporting our bone health. Leafy greens such as spinach and kale also contain good levels of folate (for building the blood), vitamins B2 and B6 (for supporting energy production), vitamin C for a healthy immune system and skin, and antioxidants such as beta carotene. Greens are also high in fibre, while being very low in calories, so are an excellent choice for supporting weight control!’
