The health whizz recently shared how you can get the most nutrition out of your fruits and veggies - and you may never have considered these tips before.
Everybody is aware that packing your diet full of delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables is a sure-fire way to give your body and mind a good dose of health.
Tim, co-founder of the Zoe Health app, is known for being a huge advocate of eating a healthy diet that's packed full of plants. He often hails the importance of eating 30 different kinds of plants in a week, as this variety can be hugely beneficial to your gut microbiome. Posting on Instagram, he said: "When cooking onion, garlic and cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli chop them first, around 10 minutes before cooking. This releases myrosinase and activates beneficial sulforaphane which can be deactivated during cooking.
Another thing you can do whilst cooking in order to give your health an extra boost is to consider adding some lemon juice to leafy greens such as kale, spinach and swiss chard.
