Spinach

Eat more spinach.
Popeye the sailor was quite right when crediting his muscle power to this green leafy vegetable.
It is believed that spinach contains around 13 flavonoid compounds which keep us away from cancer, heart diseases and osteoporosis. 1/2 cup of this lutein-rich food daily guards us against heart attacks.

Go fish. Full of Omega-3 fatty acids, fishes are natural health wonders, which help in keeping heart diseases at bay.
Avoid heart attacks, stroke and high cholesterol levels with the help of these potent nutrient-rich protein.
According to medical experts, a diet rich in seafood, especially fish, helps in raising good cholesterol levels.
Plant sources of omega-3s include soybeans, canola, flaxseeds, walnuts, and their oils.

Me too. Someone questioned why I ate so much then pointed out to them that the big bags I get are only actually 2 portions. They just had a tiny little handful.

Have to cook it though, tried eating a portion raw and it felt like I was eating it for hours.

Never have seen the attraction of spinach. I'll leave it all for you

I know, a massive bag wilts down to virtually nothing. I do add it to salads as well, mainly to bulk it out.

I eat raw spinach everyday, very good for you, but only a small amount or else it leads to kidney stones (cooked is fine)

I find spinach makes me a bit bunged up.

Im also worried about kidney stones and its not recommended that children eat very much spinach for the same reasons.

I didn't know about kidney stones. I'll have to google that. Trouble is if I google it, I'll end up thinking I've got some other disease.
