Dietitian Lerato Khadebe said traditional staples such as morogo, sorghum, beans, samp and lentils can provide iron, fibre, B vitamins and folate at lower cost.

After heavy holiday eating, Khadebe recommended several simpler days of fruit, vegetables and plenty of water rather than relying on detox products.
