One pan cod with tomatoes, olives and spinach
While there's no cure for osteoarthritis, it's widely acknowledged that the condition's symptoms can be alleviated by tinkering with your diet so that it includes foods with anti-inflammatory properties.
Our latest healthy recipe is packed full of goodness. Besides being an excellent low-calorie source of protein, cod contains a variety of very important nutrients and has also been shown to be useful in a number of different health conditions. It's a good source of blood-thinning Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as an excellent source of vitamin B12 and B6.
Fennel contains significant amounts of fibre, which reduces the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Spinach contains calcium which can help strengthen your bones and, like the tomatoes, lots of vitamin C.
