Cheddar cheese
A poll taken during last year’s British Cheese Week confirmed that
cheddar is our nation’s favourite, and while it is high in saturated fat and
so not recommended to be gobbled by the round, a 10g chunk is higher
in calcium than a glass of milk, and therefore brilliant for keeping teeth
and bones tip top. Cheddar also contains other essential nutrients such
as protein, vitamin D and potassium – all useful in lowering the risk of
osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
Avocado oil
Just when we were all getting our heads around coconut oil, along comes
avocado oil – the celebrated oil du jour that teems with monounsaturated
oleic acid, which is hugely important for keeping hearts healthy and is the
same omega-9 essential fatty acid that won olive oil its superfood crown
many moons ago. Avocado oil may well be the key to keeping the years
at bay too as it’s among the top five foods rich in vitamin E, a fat-soluble
vitamin known for strengthening immunity, defending against skin cell
damage from free radicals, and improving skin and eye health.
Chicken bones
OK, we’re not suggesting you attempt to crunch your way through a
literal bowl of bones, but the suggestion - and one that’s been speeding
its way up the superfood list since the Paleo diet exploded onto the
scene – is that broth made with chicken (or beef) bones contains a whole
gamut of salubrious properties. It’s great for the gut because the gelatin
found in joints heals holes in the intestine; chondroitin sulphate wards off
osteoarthritis; it’s full of collagen, which plumps skin for a more youthful
appearance; and glycine helps promote sleep and improve memory.
Plus, it’s a bargain; all you have to do is grab all the boniest bones you
can find – oxtail, feet, neck and knuckles – put them in a saucepan with
vegetables and herbs, and boil for a couple of days.
