SUPER SEEDS

THE tiny foods that pack a nutritional punch. This week: Sunflower seeds

THESE contain an impressive amount of vitamin E, an important antioxidant that helps protect our cells from damage.

Studies also link sunflower seeds with reduced inflammation in middle-aged and older people. Consuming sunflower seeds at least five times a week has been associated with reduced levels of C-reactive protein, a key chemical involved in inflammation and linked to heart disease and other health conditions.
