Here is a meal that according to research can help in preventing disease and surprise! It even tastes good. It was found in a study that people who ate six key foods daily reduced their risk of heart disease by 76% and if these people stuck with this diet, men could increase their life expectancy by 6.5 years and women by 5 years. The right portion for these foods is:

½ teaspoon garlic

2 cups fresh fruit and vegetables

(Especially leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits)

100 gms dark chocolate

150 ml glass of wine (red is rich in anti-oxidants)

A handful of almonds (65 grams)

110 grams salmon, herring or another fish that contains Omega three fatty acids (2-4 times in a week)
