GP Asiya Maula Backs 5 Freezer Staples for Healthy Ageing

Summary
Dr Asiya Maula said keeping five freezer staples on hand can support healthy ageing by making nutritious eating cheaper, easier and more consistent.
Frozen berries, spinach, edamame, mixed vegetables and fish made her list because they retain nutrients well and can be added quickly to everyday meals.
Maula said convenience is a major barrier to healthy eating, and a stocked freezer can reduce reliance on takeaways, ultra-processed foods and wasted fresh produce.
Her broader message was that long-term health comes from repeatable habits rather than a single superfood, with regular access to healthy basics helping people stick to better diets.
