We know that superfoods are springing up everywhere these days, but broccoli really deserves the accolade. It’s the original, and our opinion, the tastiest of all the superfoods around. Broccoli has so much going for it, it’s hard to know where to begin! Suffice it to say that as well as having anti-inflammatory properties, it’s also high in vitamins and can lower the risk of stroke and heart disease. This recipe is incredibly simple, allowing the full flavour of the broccoli to come through, with the almond pesto adding a wonderfully nutty twist. Click here:

The expression “you are what you eat” may be more accurate than you think. There are many factors that contribute to the clear, glowing, blemish-free skin everyone strives for (including genetics). Some foods—depending on their vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant content—can actually help promote healthy skin. We searched the web for meals that contain two or more foods with properties known to protect or repair skin. (But keep in mind, though studies suggest certain foods can protect our skin or repair damage, they’re not a substitute for preventative measures like sunscreen.) From quinoa for breakfast to lots of dark chocolate for dessert, here are 26 ways to eat your way to better skin. Click here:

If you’re anything like us, you’ve googled “healthy meals for one” more than a few times. After all, the usual sandwich and salad combos start to get stale, frozen dinners become downright depressing, and no we don’t always want to meal-prep and have the same dinner five nights in a row. Sure, there’s always takeout, but it’s not the best option—for your wallet or your health—in the long run. We recognize that cooking for one can be a bit of a challenge, though. Click here:
