ITV I'm A Celebrity star Tulisa Contostavlos eats same meal every day to help live until 100

ITV I'm A Celebrity star Tulisa Contostavlos eats the same superfood all week - and it may help people reach age 100. Tulisa, the former ITV The X Factor judge who is currently starring on the show, which is hosted by Ant and Dec, has opened up about her diet.

The I'm A Celebrity favourite said: "I always like fasting for health purposes. Sometimes, I spend a week eating lentils, so I don’t think it is going to bug me as much as others." It comes after Tim Spector dished out his quick-fix lunch recipe that's not only easy to whip up in five minutes but also packs a punch for your health.

He shared: "One of the questions I'm asked most often is what do I actually eat? When it comes to lunchtime, it's often a race against time. I want to minimise my time in the kitchen and maximise my time enjoying my food.

"Here's a little hack to make a fibre packed bowl with plenty of plant points in less than 5 minutes. A simple mix of precooked lentils (from a packet but you could also prep a big bowl at the start of the week), polyphenol packed red cabbage and red onions, a carrot and cabbage sauerkraut, pistachios, flaked almonds, spinach and extra virgin olive oil for flavour but also to increase absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Delicious! I hope you'll try it."

He said: "I've got some fermented foods in there. It's just whatever I had in the fridge. Easy to get in between podcasts, and I'm going to show you how to make it simple.", adding: "P recooked lentils from a packet for plant protein and even more fibre. Pistachios, flaked almonds, a probiotic packed carrot and cabbage sauerkraut. Extra virgin olive oil to increase absorption of fat soluble polyphenols and vitamins - delicious."

"Eat lentils and I'll see you when you're 100 years old," he said, according to a La Nacion report. "These humble legumes promote heart health, balance blood sugar levels, and keep you full and energised. Embrace the longevity secrets of the Blue Zones and add more lentils to your diet."
