Quinoa contains lots of protein, nutrients and fibre. Fibre can prevent or treat constipation and helps you feel full longer (helping with weight loss). It also helps with cholesterol and blood sugar levels, lowering your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Brazil nuts are high in selenium, magnesium and potassium - Brazil nuts may reduce inflammation, support brain function, and improve your thyroid function and heart health.
Citrus fruits (orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit) are full of vitamin C, an important antioxidant which also helps renew other antioxidants in the body.
Celery contains vitamin C, beta carotene, and flavonoids. It’s also a good source of phytonutrients, which have been shown to reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, cells, blood vessels, and organs.
Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.
