There are different types of lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, etc. to add variety to salad. What's depressing is the little bit of salad many places put on the side; some limp lettuce, a few halves of watery cherry tomatoes and a couple of cucumbers slices! ☹️

Yes I addfew spring onions chop black olives into my salad and sweet corn to my salad then dress it with olive oil mixed herbs and squeeze fresh lemon tastes good with anything

Hi

I try to follow BHF healthy eating plan

Try to eliminate Carbs as much as possible , red meat , sugar, processed foods and fats.

I can only have one slice of bread a day

Any more and I feel bloated and lethargic the next day .

Do sometimes go off the rails but I expect we all do at times ,

Have a look at the Mediterranean diet in the BHF website - this is what you should be following. Fruit and veg are good for Vitamin C that reduces irritation often a precursor to plaque formation. The link between Vitamin C and issues with blood vessels was established hundreds of years ago when they gave sailors Vitamin C to prevent scurvy.
