There are many more types of seafood than just fish that can be good for us. Prawns in particular are a very lean source of protein, as well as a source of omega-3s, iron, iodine, zinc and B vitamins.
Heart-healthy tip: Choose a range of different vegetables to create colourful and vibrant meals. The different colours of each vegetable indicate a different spectrum of health-promoting compounds know as phytochemicals. Consuming plenty of vegetables each day and achieving a good variety is an important part of long-term heart health.
