WHY WE NEED TO EAT THOSE GREEN VEGETABLES! 🥦🥬🥒🫑 On this Healthy June with Elizabeth Challenge, I encouraged you to make five small changes. I am beginning to realise that this was rather a big ask, as even I have found some days difficult. I hope some of you are still with me and feeling the benefits of these changes to your lifestyle. Please do let us know how you are getting along. The fourth change I suggested, was to increase your intake of green vegetables. I am sure you will be interested to know the reasons! Most importantly they are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that protect us from disease. Green vegetables are also anti-aging because they delay the shortening of telomeres which are the protective tips on DNA that shorten with aging. When the telomere is completely gone the cell dies. Our greens are also packed with fibre which we need for good digestion and to feed and nourish good gut bacteria. I hope this will encourage you to eat more greens especially broccoli, spinach and kale. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to enjoy a Mediterranean diet which we know is a healthy diet. One thing that I noticed is that vegetables are an important part of the breakfast menu. I now incorporate this into my diet. Sometimes it is simply cooked roasted peppers with tomatoes and sometimes courgettes/zucchini which are quick and easy to cook with a little olive oil. This morning. I had steamed spinach, with eggs and mushrooms, which a few months ago I would not have dreamed of having at breakfast! The importance of good nutrition cannot be over-emphasized; I believe, “If food is not your medicine, then medicine will become your food!” Good nutrition nourishes the body and provides it with the nutrients it needs to protect it from disease, renew cells, remove toxins, and provide energy to enable it to work and play. What we eat is the foundation of good health so please eat those greens! #healthyjunewithelizabeth #nutrition #nutritionist #healthyeating #healthyliving #health #healthyfood #eatyourgreens #vegetables #healthcoach #healthcoaching

Boost Your Day with a Power-Packed Salad! A chickpea salad offers a perfect blend of nutrients to fuel your body and mind. Chickpeas are rich in protein and fiber, making them ideal for lasting satiety and a stable energy release, which helps prevent mid-day slumps. High in iron, chickpeas also support oxygen transport in the blood, boosting alertness and reducing fatigue. Leafy greens in the salad, such as spinach or kale, are loaded with vitamins A, C, and K and folate, all crucial for immune function and mental clarity. They’re also packed with antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and protect cells. Adding tomatoes and cucumbers brings hydration and vitamins like C and potassium, supporting healthy skin, muscle function, and hydration levels. Carrots, with their beta-carotene content, support eye health and immune function. Finally, healthy fats from seeds, such as pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of olive oil, promote brain health and keep you feeling full longer. Together, these ingredients create a balanced meal that stabilizes blood sugar and delivers a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, all while being light and refreshing. A chickpea salad is therefore a powerful, nutrient-dense option for maintaining energy and focus throughout the day. Discover the joy of nutritious eating with Salad O'Clock!

When it comes to longevity, you need to make sure you are providing the right nutrition to preserve our healthy bones 🦴⬇️ Experiencing bone loss is a natural part of aging, but eating a well-balanced diet can slow down the process. Here are several nutrients you need to prioritize to keep your bones healthy as you age: Calcium: If you don't get enough calcium from your diet, your body will pull the minerals from your bones. Dairy products are more widely known as being sources of calcium, but other calcium-rich foods include tofu, beans, leafy greens, sardines, bok choy, and plant-based milk. Luckily, many of our Longevity Diet meals contain tofu, beans, and/or dark, leafy greens. Vitamin D: Now, to absorb the calcium from your diet, you need to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. While you can always get vitamin D from the sun, sometimes that is not always possible, so we need to make sure we are consuming vitamin D-rich foods. These include salmon, tuna, egg yolks, mushrooms, milk, and fortified plant-based milk and cereals. When choosing meals from our Pick Your Own plans, make sure to choose a few of our delicious salmon dishes! Protein: Protein is essential for replacing bone when it is lost, so make sure you are getting enough. The average adult should strive for around 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight, while older adults may need to increase the amount to 0.45 grams. That being said, always check with your doctor or Registered Dietitian to determine your appropriate protein needs. Protein sources include meat, Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, lentils, and almonds. Click below to view our meal plans and make sure you are easily getting in your daily nutrients: https://lnkd.in/g_RKp5TY 📣Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gzS_D6cq #nutritionforlongevity #n4l #health #healthyfood #healthy #food #meal #mealdelivery #delivery #mealplan #mealkit #nutrition #nutrient #bone #tip #calcium #vitamind #protein #healthtip #wellness
