What is triple-tested? Our Food Team creates, develops and tests every recipe at least three times (sometimes more!) to make sure it’s delicious and foolproof. We also make sure it’s easy to follow and shop for. Our professional testers weigh all the ingredients for nutritional analysis, verify how long it takes to prep and cook each recipe and check if it can be made ahead. We re-taste and adjust as needed. To confirm results in different kitchens, recipes are also tested at home — by us or by you. Sign up to be a home tester: testing@chatelaine.com

How much iron your children eat might affect their brains in early adulthood.

How much iron your children eat might affect their brains in early adulthood, according to a new study. Researchers at UCLA found that the wiring in healthy young-adult brains may be improved by getting lots of iron in youth — when your noggin is still developing. The study followed adolescents into their early 20s and found that those who had good levels of iron in their blood (and diets) had healthier brains. “Iron helps build a fatty layer of insulation on brain cells, which allows them to communicate faster and more efficiently” and makes them less vulnerable to neurodegeneration, says researcher Paul Thompson.

We’ve found the ultimate secret to losing weight and keeping it off (and no, it’s not counting calories or cutting fat).

Aim for about 25 g of dietary fibre a day. (Good sources are raspberries, avocados, pears, spinach, other vegetables and whole grains.) Increase your intake over time by steadily adding higher-fibre foods to each meal and snack.
