    FYI

    Green chillies

    To check a chilli’s heat, slice it, touch the cut-side with a fingertip, then touch your lip to see if it burns. Chillies are a good way to add flavour without salt.

    Carrots

    It may be a myth that carrots help you see in the dark but they do contain high levels of vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes in good shape.

    Fresh mackerel

    Mackerel is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for a healthy heart. It’s also rich in vitamin D, which helps the body to absorb calcium.
