In addition to delicious recipes, the book contains information about the foods we eat.
- Dark chocolate or cocoa contain polyphenols. These are the antioxidants that help to support cholesterol and blood sugar levels and can boost heart and vascular health.
- Foods rich in vitamin A, such as orange and yellow vegetables and fruits, are important for maintaining healthy eyesight, skin and immune function.
- Blue and purple fruits and vegetables like blueberries, blackberries and eggplant are rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins. These antioxidants are important for maintaining healthy brain function and protecting against age-related cognitive decline.
