Learn More »Love them or loathe them, the small but mighty sprout is an impressive source of fibre, folate, potassium and vitamin C. More impressively, scientists have linked eating brassica vegetables rich in glucosinolates – such as cabbage, cauliflower and sprouts – to pumped up muscle gain. Italian researchers found eating these underappreciated vegetables can stimulate the development of stem cells in your muscles, helping them to repair and grow. What that means is you can fuel extra muscle gain this winter by pairing your chicken with more than just another handful of spinach. The chemical compound sulforaphane in sprouts also reduces cell death, which is crucial to sustaining muscle mass and facilitating fast recovery after a heavy session. A tasty bit of nutritional science, we’re sure you’ll agree. And sprouts needn’t resemble the soggy morsels that used to contaminate your grandmother’s roasts, either. When cooking them, simply swap the saucepan for the roasting tin. Not only does boiling turn them into mush, you’ll also end up pouring much of their goodness down the plughole with the water. Coat them in a little oil and season, before roasting at home until golden and crispy with a few bacon lardons. The distinctly sprouty odour you will leave in the office kitchen is sadly unavoidable, so the least you can do is make it taste good.

Your skin is the first thing people see when they look at you. Strangely enough, it's considered the largest organ in the human body -- right up there with the intestines, lungs, and liver. It serves many purposes, including acting as our first defense against germs and the environment, and converting sunlight to vitamin D. The layer of fat under the skin's surface helps ensure that the important fluids inside our bodies stay inside our bodies. The ironic thing about skin is that when people are young, their biggest concern about their skin may be how to get a tan. But as we get older, our top skin priority becomes preventing wrinkles -- and the No. 1 way to do this, of course, is NOT to tan. (Since I am the kind of person who doesn't tan but only turns different shades of pink, I figured out at a young age that sun worshipping just wasn't in my genetic code. My younger sister did tan as a teen and young adult. And I have to say, I do seem to have fewer wrinkles.)
