5 reasons to have nuts and seeds for breakfast

Nuts and seeds are nutritional powerhouses, making them a perfect addition to your breakfast routine. Packed with essential nutrients, they offer a host of health benefits that can boost your day from the start.

1. Rich in healthy fats

Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, chia, and flaxseeds, are rich in heart-healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are essential for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation in the body. Including a handful of nuts or a sprinkle of seeds in your breakfast can promote cardiovascular health and lower your risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fats also play a role in improving brain function and maintaining mental clarity, which can be particularly beneficial at the beginning of your day.

As women enter their 30s, life becomes increasingly demanding, with careers, relationships, and personal responsibilities taking centre stage. However, amidst all these commitments, maintaining one’s health is of paramount importance. Regular medical screenings play a critical role in the early detection of potential health concerns, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. For women in their 30s, preventive care through routine check-ups can help maintain overall well-being and ensure a healthy future. Here are the top three medical screenings every woman in her 30s should prioritise.
