Make the fibre switch. Using whole grain bread instead of white, adds 2 grams of fibre per slice. Try to make at least half of your grain choices for the day whole grains. Whole grains in our diet can help reduce the risk of several cancers including colorectal cancer.
It’s no yolk, whole eggs are healthy! One whole egg provides 6 ½ grams of good quality protein and several key nutrients like vitamin D, iron, and lutein. Don’t fear the yolk! The cholesterol in the yolk has little effect on the cholesterol in the blood.
Keep it colourful! The colour of the fruit and vegetable are clues to the helpful plant compounds they contain. This recipe calls for blueberries which are rich in fibre and nutrients that may reduce cancer risk and improve brain, eye, and heart health.
