and oysters
Mussels
CONTAIN: Protein, zinc,
calcium, omega-3 fatty acids,
potassium and magnesium.
GOOD FOR: A low-fat
source of protein that can
help to fight against stroke.
WHY I LOVE IT:
‘I love all types of fish,
but my favourites are
mussels and oysters.
When I go to France,
I always choose moules
frites in restaurants
- they're irresistible.'

5
Rhubarb
crumble
CONTAINS: Calcium,
lutein and antioxidants.
GOOD FOR: Potentially
fighting off cancer cells.
WHY I LOVE IT:
‘I’ve always enjoyed
eating rhubarb although
I realise it’s quite an
acquired taste! I liked
eating it even as a child
– and I still love it in a
crumble. My mum makes
a really delicious one. I
also adore rhubarb jam.’
Fresh
mango
CONTAINS: Antioxidants,
vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin
E and dietary fibre.
GOOD FOR: Lowering
blood cholesterol levels
and the risk of developing
heart disease and diabetes.
WHY I LOVE IT:
‘I just love the flavour of
this juicy fruit – it’s great
on its own or in a salsa
with savoury meals. Plus,
it’s really high in fibre,
so is great for digestion.’

A glass of
red wine
CONTAINS: Antioxidants.
GOOD FOR: Heart health
and reducing cholesterol
in the blood vessels.
WHY I LOVE IT:
‘My absolute favourite
red wine is Amarone
della Valpolicella – it's just
a really lovely wine. And
I have a penchant for
a good bottle of claret,
too. I also enjoy a glass
of Champagne – in
moderation, of course!’
Slice of
fruit cake
CONTAINS: Fibre, iron,
protein and healthy fats.
GOOD FOR: Reduced
cholesterol levels and
an increase in energy.
WHY I LOVE IT:
‘My favourite is homemade
fruit cake – or
iced Christmas cake
during the festive season.
Thankfully none of my
children are keen on
it which means there’s
always more for me!’
GET YOUR JUST DESSERTS
A small amount of dark chocolate is the perfect guilt-free treat
Contains: Antioxidants and flavonols.
Good for: Boosting blood flow
and reducing the risk of cardiovascular
disease and stroke in adults.
Why I love it:
‘I love all chocolate, but especially dark
chocolate and bars with fruit and nuts
in them. However, there’s one thing
I just don’t understand and that’s when
people mix chocolate with things, such
as strawberries. I know a lot of people
enjoy that but I just don’t get it!’ n
Dr Hilary’s diet is a varied affair. Here are his absolute menu must-haves
