Chickpeas

 

The humble chickpea is a pulse that will add protein, iron, potassium and folic acid to your daily diet.

Add it to soups, stews, chili and curries for a healthy helping hand in fighting off diabetes and certain types of cancer.

 

Garlic

 

This little miracle will keep more than vampires at bay. Garlic has incredible antiviral, antibiotic and even antifungal properties. It can help protect your body against colds and flu, heart diseases and high blood pressure, and cancer. Use liberally, but make sure to keep some mints on hand too…

 

Olive Oil

 

The Italians know what they’re doing with this one. High in monounsaturated fatty acids, olive oil is a ‘good’ fat that will actually help lower your blood cholesterol, and prevent heart disease. A good source  of Vitamin E, olive oil will also help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins.

 

Tomatoes

 

Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. This health wonder will help you fight off heart disease and cancer, and is better absorbed when tomatoes are cooked. These fruits are also high in Vitamin C. Tomato based sauces and soups are a great way of boosting your intake.
