1 grilled chicken breast, sliced
Optional dressing: 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp balsamic vinegar + pinch of salt & pepper

Add walnuts or almonds and toast for 3–5 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
Grill the chicken:
Season chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill or pan-sear until fully cooked (about 6–7 minutes per side depending on thickness).
Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
Assemble the salad:

Nutrition for Better Sleep
Struggling to wind down at night? What you eat during the day can make a big difference to how well you sleep. Add these simple habits to support deeper, more restorative rest:
🌿 Magnesium-rich foods
Leafy greens, nuts, seeds, avocado, and legumes help relax muscles and calm the nervous system.
🍌 Sleep-supporting foods
Banana, kiwi, tart cherries, and warm milk contain natural compounds that help your body switch into “sleep mode.”
🌾 Wholegrains
Oats, brown rice, quinoa, and wholewheat stabilise blood sugar to prevent nighttime wake-ups.
☕ Limit caffeine
Caffeine can linger for hours. Try cutting off intake by 2pm to support better-quality sleep.
Want to improve your sleep through personalised nutrition?
Book a consultation and assessment with InteliHealth Dietitians.
We’ll help you uncover what’s disrupting your sleep and build a plan that actually works.

Omega-3s for Heart Health 🫀🐟

Omega-3 fatty acids are some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients for cardiovascular protection — but not all omega-3s work the same:

1️⃣ ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid)

Found in plants like chia, flax, h**p, and walnuts.
Your body must convert ALA into EPA & DHA — but conversion is very low (1–10%).

Role:
⚡ Mildly reduces inflammation
⚡ Supports overall omega-3 intake
⚡ Still heart-protective, but not enough on its own

2️⃣ EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid)

Found in fatty fish & algae.
EPA is the primary anti-inflammatory omega-3.

Role:
🔥 Lowers triglycerides
🩸 Reduces clotting + inflammation
🔧 Helps stabilize plaque
💙 Lowers cardiovascular risk

3️⃣ DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid)

Also found in fatty fish & algae.
DHA is crucial for cell membrane fluidity, especially in the brain and heart.

Role:
🧠 Supports brain + nervous system
🫀 Improves heart rhythm + blood pressure
💪 Makes cell membranes healthier + less inflammatory

Best Food Sources:

🐟 Salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, trout
🌱 Chia, flax, h**p, walnuts (ALA)
🌿 Algae-based omega-3 (EPA/DHA option for vegetarians)

So remember, plant omega-3s (ALA) are beneficial.
but EPA + DHA from fish/algae are the real powerhouses for heart protection.

Monounsaturated Fats: The Heart-Protective Fats 💛🫀

Not all fats are created equal — and monounsaturated fats (MUFA) are some of the most protective for your heart.

Here’s why they matter:

💛 Improve LDL profile
MUFA help lower LDL cholesterol and reduce the number of oxidized LDL particles (the type that forms plaque).

💛 Raise HDL cholesterol
They support higher HDL — your body’s “cholesterol clean-up crew.”

💛 Reduce inflammation
MUFA-rich diets lower inflammatory markers linked to heart disease.

💛 Improve insulin sensitivity
Better blood sugar control = less metabolic stress on arteries.

💛 Support healthy blood pressure
MUFA help maintain flexible, healthy vessel walls.

Top MUFA-rich foods:
🥑 Avocado
🫒 Extra-virgin olive oil and Olives
🌰 Almonds, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts
🥜 Natural nut butters
🍽️ Seeds like sesame & pumpkin (mixed MUFA + PUFA)

Cardiovascular Disease: The Silent Global Crisis 🫀🔥

Most people don’t realise this — but heart disease is still the #1 cause of death in the world.

Here we explain 10 major, often silent, risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

💀 ~20 million people die from CVD every year — that’s 1 in 3 deaths globally.
💥 85% of these are from heart attacks and strokes.
🌍 Over 612 million people are currently living with some form of cardiovascular disease.
📈 Deaths have climbed from 12 million in 1990 to almost 20 million today — a massive 60% increase.

Why does this matter?

Because most of the major risk factors are preventable: high blood pressure, insulin resistance, inflammation, high LDL, smoking, stress, poor diet, and physical inactivity.

Your daily habits drive the majority of your heart disease risk.

Small changes today = massive protection long-term. ❤️🫀

🔥 BRAAI VEG SKEWERS – THE GRAND FINALE! 🌈✨
If your braai roster needed a hero, consider this the cape-wearing, char-kissed veggie champion.

Crispy edges? Check.
Colour explosion? Check.
That “I’m-so-healthy-but-also-kind-of-a-rebel” char? DOUBLE check.

Perfect for when the weather can’t decide… but your taste buds can.
Here’s to ending this series on a skewer so good, even the meat had FOMO. 😎🥦🍢

🥦🔥 Make it braai broccoli steaks!

When the weather’s gone from sunscreen to slippers, and the braais are turning into oven roasts — keep it green, keep it crispy, and keep it delish 😋

Simple, smoky, and secretly saintly (because yes, it’s still broccoli 😉).

🔥 When the weather says “no more braais,” we say “watch us grill anyway!” 😉

Rain, wind or winter chill — this Grilled Aubergine brings the char and cheer indoors! 🍆✨

Brush with olive oil, sizzle till smoky, and drizzle with tahini + lemon for that “it’s still Summer” vibe 🌴😎

Who needs a sunny braai when you can roast your way to greatness? 😜
