5 Healthy Foods You Should Be Including In Your Diet

Let’s face it, even when you are dieting, some foods considered so nutritious they make it into any meal plan –

Here is the list:

1.Avocados

Avocados aren’t just for guacamole. These buttery fruits contain antioxidants, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber to help keep you satiated. Eaten straight out of its skin, smashed and spread onto toast, chopped and mixed into a salad or even blended into a smoothie — the possibilities are endless.

2. Salmon
Known for its omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is a great protein option that helps improve brain health, protects against inflammation, and can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease.
 
Use it in a breakfast salad or roasted for a quick weeknight dinner.
 

3. Walnuts

Walnuts are a rich source of energy and hold many health-benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins that are essential for wellbeing.

Eating as just as a handful (25 g) of walnuts every day can provide about 90% of RDI (recommended daily intake) of omega-3 fatty acids. 

Research studies suggest that n-3 fatty acids by their anti-inflammatory actions may help lower blood pressure, cut down coronary artery disease and stroke risk, and offer protection from breast, colon, and prostate cancers.

4. Broccoli 

Similar to kale and other cruciferous vegetables, broccoli contains fiber compounds that bind very well to bile acids in our digestive systems, which ultimately helps to lower cholesterol.

Broccoli is also great for anti-inflammation, protection against oxidative stress, cardiovascular support, digestive support, and protection from certain cancers. Broccoli has powerful overall health benefits from its antioxidants, sulforaphane, minerals, vitamins, and fiber.

5. Berries 

Berries pack a powerful punch of nutrients.

They are especially rich in antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E. These
nutrients help reduce inflammation. And they prevent cell damage caused by aging, environmental factors, and genetics.

Studies show that antioxidants may help prevent certain types of cancer. Antioxidants have also been shown to help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of diabetes, stroke, and other health problems. Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries contain some of the highest levels of antioxidants among berries.

You can add blueberries to cereal, yogurt, or oatmeal, And also make a fruit smoothie with frozen strawberries.
