Comments
*Try making your own muesli instead of buying ready-made ones which are usually high in fat.
*Start with yoghurt which is a good source of calcium.
*Choose a wide variety of multi-grain cereal which are high in fibre, especially insoluble fibre which makes you full.
*Use oats because they have soluble fibres which help reduce cholesterol.
*Strawberries are high in anti-oxidants and can prevent cancer. They also slow down the ageing process and boosts your immune system.
*When using pears, keep the skin on so that you retain the fibre.
*Fats found in nuts are mostly poly-unsaturated fats - the good fats that won't raise your cholesterol levels. Just don't use too much.
