10 feel-good foods for Christmas
10. Christmas pudding
A lot of Christmas puddings, especially shop bought ones, are likely to be quite high in both saturated fat and calories, but the dried fruit is full of potassium - and you can ease your conscience with the thought that a generous portion will also provide a reasonable amount of iron and fibre. But it pays to shop around - puds with more nuts and fruit are likely to have a lower saturated fat content.
