This dish by celebrity Chef Mark McEwan is loaded with superfoods like spinach and tuna.
Spinach is rich in vitamins A and K, folic acid and iron, and is packed with at least 15 different antioxidant compounds known as flavonoids. Flavonoids have been shown to inhibit the formation of the beta-amyloid plaques that build up in those with Alzheimer’s disease.
