Make sure you’re getting plenty of antioxidants in your diet every day by eating lots of fruits, vegetables and wholegrains – ideally five portions of vegetables and three portions of fruit a day.

A vegetable portion is a mug-full of raw vegetables or a small cup of cooked. A fruit portion is one medium banana, orange or apple. (Remember, when you eat your fruit always have some protein at the same time, like some low-fat cheese or a handful of nuts.)

Fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, soups and frozen vegetables all count towards your portions, and you can maximize their antioxidant power by eating them raw. The next best thing is to steam or stir-fry rather than boil. If you must boil, keep the nutrient-rich water or stock to use in soups or casseroles.
