DRIED AND TESTED

We're a bit freaked out that Demi Moore lies in a bath of leeches to keep herself looking young.

Less creepy, though, is her love of the humble prune.

It might not be the sexiest fruit, but new research shows that dried plums contain more antioxidants than any other food, which means they're probably better at fighting wrinkles than a whole vat of anti-ageing bloodsuckers.

Visit Californiaprunes.co.uk for more information.


 

 

CURRANT ACCOUNT

Kanye West recently name-checked Ribena in a rap song, and now scientists are waxing lyrical about blackburrants too.

Researchers found that they're full of proanthocyanidins, nutrients which help fight the bacteria that cause cystitis, reducing the number and severity of attacks.

 

DISH OF THE DAY

South Beach and Caveman diets? Yawn!

Like singer Brandy, we're already rocking the latest diet craze to sweep California - immunity menus.

LA resturants are tapping into the latest expert advice and packing their dishes full of foods that fight off bugs and disease and give your system a boost.

Choices include wild salmon tartar, rich in omega-3s, but our fave is the antioxidant-filled martini with goji berries.

Make ours a double.
