🍋 Lemon or lime, zest or juice on a salad is a fantastic way to make a salad sing and to help absorption of non heme iron from your salad leaves by converting iron into a more absorbable form (ferrous iron).
✅Eating a predominantly plant-based diet high in antioxidants, with a rainbow of colours, including plenty of PURPLE rich foods is a great way to stay healthy and give your body a fighting chance!
✅Purple food is high in the antioxidants resveratrol and anthocyanin. Antioxidants play a vital role in protecting our bodies, from - you guessed it - oxidants, also known as free radicals. Free radicals are a part of life, produced from bi-products of metabolism or environment, and with a healthy body our liver, kidneys, lungs work hard to remove toxins that can cause damage. Radiccio - a wonderful bitter purple leaf from the chicory family, very simply used, shredded into any salad for additional nutrition and colour.
✅A recipe for chronic disease includes an overload of oxidants, (from processed foods, trans fats, medication, paints, chemicals, alcohol, ni****ne, burnt food, toxins…) a less than optimally healthy body (from age, medication, malnourishment, lifestyle factors, stress) and a diet low in antioxidants. This is a combination of factors you really want to avoid.
