Bok choy is a type of Chinese cabbage that doesn’t look like the typical cabbage. Instead, it has dark green leaves connected to white stalks. One cup has just 9 calories and barely a trace of fat, yet delivers protein, dietary fiber and almost all the essential vitamins and minerals.
Cod is great source of vitamin B12 and omega 3 fatty acids which help to improve the function of the human heart muscles and help to reduce chance of cardiac problems.
