Five fabulous foods

Spring is here, which means that loads more yummy foods come into season... here's five things the Cosmo ladies will be chomping on this month...

Beetroot
This super-root contains loads of antioxidants and is rich in iron (for healthy blood), boron (for healthy joints) and folic acid (for healthy cells).

Asparagus
These spears have a diuretic effect which means that by chewing on them, you rid your bod of toxins, clear out your digestive tract and drain excess water.

Prawns
Even though they're not as oily as salmon or mackerel, prawns are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. They are also low in fat and calories but a great source of protein.

Lemons
These fab fruits have anti-fatigue, anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties. By adding a slice to hot water in the morning, you'll boost your immune system and improve digestion.

Yogurt
Fromage frais is in season and is a great source of vitamin B, protein, vitamin A and calcium.
