Safcol tuna is a good source of iron which is needed to create red blood cells, also to make and release energy as well as to keep your immune system working at its best. Tuna is also a good source of iodine which is needed by your thyroid gland to make hormones, it helps to control your metabolic rate and promotes healthy growth and mental health.
When selecting the mountain bread opt for the whole grain varieties which will provide your body with the benefits of the whole grain. Wholegrain includes many of the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, protein, and fibre your body needs.
Parsley contains antioxidants which help to fight off free radicals which can cause damage and disease to the cells of your body. Parsley has carotenoids which support the health of your eyes, has antibacterial properties and cancer-fighting flavonoids. Red onions are a part of the allium vegetable family. Onions may help reduce your risk of several types of cancers and help to keep your skin and hair looking healthy and improve your mood.
Lemon juice will help your immune system function at its best as a source of vitamin C. Celery will keep you feeling fuller for longer as a source of fibre. and will help prevent constipation and keep you regular. Spinach leaves are a good source of vitamin A, folate and vitamin K. Folate is needed to make and repair DNA and vitamin K allows your blood to clot normally and helps your bones stay strong and healthy. This is a lunch your body will thank you for choosing.
