From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s a culinary minefield out there - low fat vs low carb, caveman diets vs vegan, Dukan vs Atkins. We know by now that having our local chip-shop on speed-dial is not the way to go when it comes to a balanced diet, but how do we navigate the supermarket aisles to ensure good health?
So we’ve compiled 50 great foods to include on your shopping list - and why they will benefit you. This list is not exhaustive, nor are any of the foods exclusive to their categories, but what they all do have in common is they are fresh, natural, and are more than likely in your local supermarket, greengrocers or butchers, without the ‘health food’ price tag.
Scroll through the gallery for 5 foods within each of the following categories: digestion, immune system, skin hair and nails, weight loss, heart, brain, energy, bone health, men’s health, women’s health
