Protein keeps us feeling full and supports healthy bones and muscles—essential for healthy ageing. But the source matters: more plant-based protein is linked to extra health benefits, likely due to added fibre and polyphenols.

This meal sets you on track for 30g of fibre per day. Increasing your fibre intake can reduce heart disease risk by up to 30% and improve brain function. 🧠

Having higher levels of omega-3 is tied to improved heart health, inflammation, cognitive function and a longer life expectancy.

Eating 1-2 handfuls (30-60g) of nuts and seeds daily could support your heart and brain function. They contain healthy unsaturated fats, protein, fibre, and polyphenols, which are known to counteract oxidative stress and inflammation. 🌰🧠
