A dietician has revealed the things we should all do to add years on to our lives - including eating more plant-based foods and oily fish. Helen Bond, 49, said a healthy diet was one of the "best weapons" we have to fight disease and live a long life.
Increasing your fibre intake, slashing the salt, monitoring your saturated fat and staying within the recommended alcohol limits were all key to a long life, Helen said. She said we should be eating around 30 different plant-based foods a week to keep our bodies healthy, alongside eating more oily fish, making sure we get our five a day and cooking more.
Helen, a registered dietician said: "There’s a lot of conflicting advice out there about what we should and shouldn’t eat to look after our health. But one thing most people agree on is that eating more plant-based foods is good for our health.
